Not everyone.

... They found that the average length was 6.6 steps and that 78 percent of the pairs could be connected in seven hops or less. Some pairs, however, were separated by as many as 29 hops.

I'm probably only 3 or 4 degrees away from Kevin Bacon. I went to high school with Haley Bennett. I wasn't friends with her but I do know how to get into contact with her. Even if that doesn't count I know people who were actually friends with her. Since she's in Hollywood I'm sure she knows someone who knows Kevin Bacon, assuming she hasn't met him herself.

The database covered all of the Microsoft Messenger instant-messaging network in June 2006, or roughly half the world's instant-messaging traffic at that time, researchers said.

Um...

So basically, they keep logs of what everyone says for multiple years?

Damn.

Turns out I'm 7 degrees from the person that replies to this post too.

CONFIRMED: Fritzo has reading comprehension problems.

Wow...what a zinger.

What's up with everyone being so assy on this board lately? Is all that built up testosterone from lack of sex putting the geeks in a rage or something?


Dude, you freakin said it. I was thinking the same thing.
