Unfortunately I don't think that's really enough to say that any two people in the world are separated by 'six degrees'. But that's just what I figure.
I actually remember reading something about the six degrees of separation concept, and what it was actually based on. Apparently it was a study conducting in the US where people in one state would have to mail something to someone they didn't know by sending it to the most likely person they knew that might know the recipient, and asking them to do the same until the letter reached the recipient in another state. The average number of people it went through was six.
Ah coincidences can totally be explained by this principle of degrees of seperation although it is more of a concept than a principle...this includes the coincidence of this topic '6degrees of separation' appearing in my life at least 6 times this month.
I didn't know about the degrees of influence, gonna have to get my grubby mits on this book. Sounds excellent.
Sorry if this is generally deemed as an inappropriate question (as are most awkward references between friends to facial similarities), but you and Tom have the EXACT SAME MOUTH.
The speaking similarly I can logically contribute to constant close proximity, but.. the MOUTH. M'lord.
I'm sorry.
p.s. Covering your highly distracting chomper with my hand, your video was lovely. If that's any consolation.
An important thing to remember is that connections are weighted. Some have the weight of a feather, others are like a stone. I hope the heavy connections I have are positive, as well.
@MrStripyHead Wow.. I don't know!! To be honest, I've been wondering about the exact same thing. I'll get back to you when I've finished reading this book :P
@KingJaredoftheLand :o Thank you Jared! Well did you know that some of your insights have totally changed the way I see things. For example, earlier this year you told me that money is just a way for people to acquire stuff, and it's kind of meaningless. I was like 'OMG that's amazing!!' and I've taken up that view ever since! You are a very wise dude :D
Thinking about how connected we are shows me that you can make even the slightest change in peoples lives by just being yourself and I think that obligates to be the best one can be. Just my thoughts about that I hope they make sense to you.
You've got a lovely Australian accent - not twangy. Good job.

@mrblueysky CORRECTION: Me and Shae have the exact same mouth. Good ol' Jewish mouth genes.
You really haven't looked hard enough at the mouth. My lips are clearly much puffier than Toms. And different shape. And colour. Duuude..

I've met and hugged Mr. Nerimon, and sometimes we text, so I count him as a friend. He's friends with Tom, who you are dating. (I think?)
Three degrees of separation with some random Canadian girl for you!!! Yay!
