The Volokh Conspiracy has a couple of notes on the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, including a link to a website which computes "Bacon numbers". There is even a note that President Grover Cleveland of all people has a Kevin Bacon number of 6.
I do better than President Cleveland, however. My Kevin Bacon number is 3
Paul Weimer is on the Videssos Mailing List with Steven Silver
Steven Silver was on Jeopardy with Alex Trebek
Alex Trebek was on Celebrity Jeopardy with Kevin Bacon.
(And, therefore, a bunch of you all have a Bacon number of no greater than four, as a result of linking to me via things like Bete Noire, Grand Affair, Strange Bedfellows, etc.)
I also have a Bacon number of three, from actual theater work.
I was in a college production that Chepe Lockett worked on (we did a reading of plays by Hroswitha Von Gandersheim). Chepe has a Bacon number of two.
Chepe is (still) heavily involved in Rice theater, so a lot of my friends have Bacon numbers of three. The production I was in was my only theater work in college, though.
Ain't it a small world?
