I heard this on NPR this morning.

This explains how the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game is played.

Go into the Google search engine and type in any film actor/actress's name, followed by "bacon number", and Google will give you that person's bacon number.

This is NEW to you? Where have you been, man? One of the reason it works so well is Kevin Bacon was in a movie with Roddy McDowall, which connects to so many of an earlier generation of actors.

I dunno about that Gunnar. I typed your name in followed by "bacon number" and got a listing for Dusseldorf-style Altbier and one for tub-o-lard. No bacon number. But not to worry, "sexy Samantha" doesn't have a bacon number either.

These girls below though each have bacon numbers of 10.

The new part is that it is now part of Google.

Ah. I see. My apologies. I "baconed" years ago. We had to just have good memories.

Hmmm. Bacon
