I always thought it was a cool concept. For those of you who don't know, supposedly, everyone is connected to everyone by, at most, six "degrees".

My friend's dad met Jack Nicholson and did fancy woodworking shit on his house..so I'm connected through 3 degrees..

I don't know about currently, but I remember MAD used to run a thing like this in every issue. It was funny shit; they'd link like, Brittney Spears to raging boners or something stupid. It was more of word association than social but still

yes this is true
there are actually a few exceptions o this (Loners, members of tribes and shit like that)

you see each person on averege experiences about 10,000 people in their life

10,000 ^ 6 is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000

number people in the world < 1,000,000,000,000,000,000




everything is this post was made up

I sold Jack Nicholson a croissant one morning.  He was a douchebag.
