Not this bacon:
This Bacon!:
I wanted to link this picture, but I thought it might get some people fired up about NSFW: http://wetmen.provocateuse.com/images/photos/kevin_bacon_01.jpg
So, everyone's played the game where you try to link any actor back to Kevin Bacon within six degrees of seperation?
And possibly played the game where you link a random actor to another random actor within six degress of seperation? (Possibly involving bacon.)
How about trying to find people who are linked (at their closest) by 4, 5, 6 degrees of Bacon/seperation? Or perhaps not linked at all?
But, I hear you say, "devoir, we would have to have a ridonkulous knowledge of cinema for that!"
Aha, but you don't. Behold: The Oracle of Bacon
Or you could just have fun and use it to find weird links between people.
For example; Charlie Chaplin (IMDB name is Charles Chaplin) to Shia LeBeouf.
Charles Chaplin was in Countess from Hong Kong, A (1967) with John Paul (I)
John Paul (I) was in Cry Freedom (1987) with William Morgan Sheppard
William Morgan Sheppard was in Transformers (2007) with Shia LaBeouf
Or:
Greta Garbo was in Two-Faced Woman (1941) with Melvyn Douglas
Melvyn Douglas was in Seduction of Joe Tynan, The (1979) with Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep was in Lions for Lambs (2007) with Tom Cruise

Lindsay Lohan was in Parent Trap, The (1998) with David Doty

But apparently that actually was the Fidel Castro as an extra in Easy to Wed, which was shot in Mexico.
Barack Obama cannot be linked to Adolf Hitler
Man, Colbert lied to me.
