    Google adds 6 Degrees to Kevin Bacon search function

    Was just perusing my favorite geek website, and saw an article about this.

    if you go to google and type in "bacon number [actor/actress], Google will show you the connection Kevin Bacon has to them in terms of films.

    For instance, if you google "bacon number Uma Thurman", you get the following:

    Uma Thurman's Bacon number is 2
    Uma Thurman and Rainn Wilson appeared in My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
    Rainn Wilson and Kevin Bacon appeared in Super.


    So far, Google has been able to link Kevin Bacon to pretty much every actor / actress I've put in, in only 2 moves.

    Is it useless? Absolutely. In its own way though, I think its kind of cool. The game "6 degrees to Kevin Bacon" has always puzzled me. Seems like no matter who it is, you can link them in the chain, back to Kevin Bacon. Dude gets around I suppose. If anyone else finds this neat, were you able to get anything higher than a 2?
    If you love / enjoy WoW in its current state, don't bother with my signature...with all due respect, its not for you. (note: I am happy and respectful though, of your enthrallment with WoW... if not a little envious!)

    Kevin Bacon may be the knot that keeps the world together.

    Got a 4 for a few obscure Indian actors. I have to wonder who's listed under 5 and 6.

    *jaw drop*, just when you think they literally can't add anything more to Google Search because to be honest, it has every frigging function I can think off, they come with this... pure awesomness. I am but a peon compared to the minds working at Google.

    Kevin Bacon's Bacon number is 0...lulz Google is confused and trying to tell me Kevin Bacon has never been in a movie that Kevin Bacon has been in. WIN!
