Seek and Ye Shall Find.
If you look hard enough, you, too, will find out how easily you are connected to Kevin Bacon by less than six degrees. Or, alternately, if you're a Brooklyn native - to Marissa Tomei by no more than two. The human desire to seek out this connectedness - to each other, to strangers, to B-list actors (okay, A-) - whether it actually exists or not, speaks to both our need to understand the who/what/when/when/andmostimportantlywhy of inexplicable life events, and our innate craving to make the world that much smaller. Whether these connections actually exist or not is irrelevant since, after all, six degrees ain't that small and, besides, people will convince themselves of just about anything if the inkling is there. Case and point: Myself --> constantly mistaken for his relative throughout the 90's --> K.Bacon! Enjoy.
