I LOVE this! It just shows how close we really are.

"Instant-Messagers Really Are About Six Degrees from Kevin Bacon

Big Microsoft Study Supports Small World Theory 

Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, August 2, 2008; Page A01

Turns out, it is a small world.

The "small world theory," embodied in the old saw that there are just "six degrees of separation" between any two strangers on Earth, has been largely corroborated by a massive study of electronic communication.

With records of 30 billion electronic conversations among 180 million people from around the world, researchers have concluded that any two people on average are distanced by just 6.6 degrees of separation, meaning that they could be linked by a string of seven or fewer acquaintances."

Thanks!  Just recently I was racking my brain trying to think of this concept to apply to a situation encountered.  Indeed it is a fascinating theory.

I know. To think that we are all only 6.6 people away from knowing each other, yet... Well, maybe if we think about it we'll start treating each other better.
