This game is in reference to the game [http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/ "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon"], which is itself a reference to the stage play (and elaborate sociological concept of) "Six Degrees of Seperation". The idea behind "6 degrees" thikning is that everyone is related or connected absolutely everyone by no less than six degrees. For example, my neighbor knows his boss, who knows his cousin, who knows his dentist, who went to high school with you. To further illustrate the concept of "degrees": if you and I are friends, I am 1 degree away from you. Your mother is 2 degrees from me. And so on, linking the entire world. There is, of course, no proof that such a scenario could actually exist in which every single human on Earth is linkable in this way, but the theory stands, and it makes for a fun game. | This game is in reference to the game [http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/ "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon"], which is itself a reference to the stage play (and elaborate sociological concept of) "Six Degrees of Seperation".

It's a game! I've been playing it randomly for a time now, and believe it's reasonable to share it with everyone else. -- Scott
