Six Degrees

In the twentieth century, when statisticians became bored they started experiments and came up with a theory called "Six Degrees of Separation" which concluded that every individual is potentially separated from everyone else by a mere six links. This theory has caused a lot of people researching, conducting global experiments, starting games linked to it and we even have a film made (after it was made as a play first) on it.

Now that I have given you a backdrop of what the Six Degrees of Separation is, I can move on to what my take on this is. If this theory really does hold its matter over water and can be weighed in gold (or well apparently everyone's going platinum these days so that....its your choice really) imagine how exciting unexpected people it bring us closer to.

This theory can be so useful on facebook, where lets be honest, we do spend 40% of the time e-stalking someone, be it your ex or an old crush or that hot looking girl (boy if you are a girl.....and well are into boys) or that horrible person you hated in school/college/university/your old workplace/round the corner from your house/round the corner from the round the corner of your house/round the corner from your old workplace/round the corner from your ex's house.....you get the idea right....someone you just plain hated. Ok probably I got carried away a bit there and the example that fits here is only the one which is you stalking the hot looking girl/boy whose profile you saw while randomly searching through facebook (boy you must have a lot of time if you are into this shit) and well now you are only six links away from getting to know her/him. All you have to do it ask everyone on your friend list if they know that person and then they can ask everyone on their list and it would only take 5 more links from them and you can be introduced to that person. How simple is that!!! I personally give my full backing to this theory as it turns a reasonably small world to even a smaller one but its gives us friends who we never knew existed and well does bring down the cases of stalking as when you would get to know that person you would kick yourself for being to stupid as to waste your time on "someone" like that....but no need to stress as your very own shrink is only six links away from you (in case you already don't have one).

So in case you haven't keep passing this link to everyone you know.....who knows I might come across someone in those six links who would pay me for this....unique...sort of......work.
