This distinctly reminds me of 'the six degrees of Kevin Bacon. For those of you who don't know, there was a theory posted by a professor, that just as everyone was six degrees of separation from each other, so too was every actor a maximum of six 'degrees' from Kevin Bacon. Google has an easter egg on it. Simply type: Bacon Number <Actors Name>

 

Congratulations! I have just condemned all of you who follow through on this hours of being frustrated that you never get beyond a 3. Even Harry Houdini is just a 3.

 

Happy Bacon Hunting!

 

I dunno... I'm personally two degrees away from Kevin Bacon.

A Threesome Is Hot -> Broken Aesop -> Metaphorgotten -> Dr. Horrible -> Foreshadowing -> The Wheel of Time -> Brandon Sanderson

 

Whew! I wasn't sure I was going to make it. Once I got to Foreshadowing, though, I knew I was home free.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I tried to participate, but kept going off on Tangents.

 

But does anyone know if the people who edits TV Tropes are on this Forum? They're very well informed about Brandon.

[Zas678 he/him]

Bwaha!

 

Music is Politics-> Developmental Hell -> Wheel of Time -> Brandon Sanderson

 

I was a little concerned when I saw music, but when I saw that about Developmental Hell, I thought "Wheel of Time or Alcatraz has GOT to be in there."

[Quiver he/him]

The Corpse Stops here -> Red Herring -> A Song of Ice and Fire (Tropes List A) -> Action Girl (Literature) -> Brandon Sanderson
