Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the 6 degrees of separation game. It's basically the theory that any actor can be linked to Kevin Bacon by another actor using 6 or less movies/television series. This game functions in the same way. There are entire websites devoted to this theory, one of which is called The Oracle of Bacon.

The way this game is played, in this instance, is that someone lists 2 actors. The person in the next post links the 2 actors together using a series of movies and television shows (feel free to use IMDB or other such resources if need be). Once this is done, the person who solves it then lists 2 more actors for the next person to link.

Here is an example that I copy/pasted from the Oracle of Bacon:


Hopefully that all makes sense to those of you that have never heard of the game. It's a fun time waster type game. heart
