..And now for something completely different :)

So I had this idea, the SL Bacon number.

What is a Bacon number you ask? Well, every actor/actress in Hollywood has one.
Obligatory wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_number

The Bacon number of actor or actress A is defined to be the minimum of the Bacon numbers of all the actors or actresses with whom A appeared in a movie produced by a major studio, plus one.

So for instance, Bela Lugosi has a Bacon number of 3:

1. Bela Lugosi was in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) with Vincent Price
2. Vincent Price was in The Raven (1963) with Jack Nicholson
3. Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men (1992) with Kevin Bacon

I was thinking it might be fun to do the same thing here in SL, except we'd have creative collaborations instead of movies :)

So! Everyone start posting a list of people they've made stuff with! It'll be neat to see how the web grows :) I'll start:
(Order is completely random, and apologies in advance because I've no doubt forgotten to include people)

Haha... I was gonna say "love" too. Ah, best a thought I kept to myself but at least panda said it. ;)

Great idea for a thread, Fran! Glad to see it posted. :)

I'm not really a maker but...

here's like three dozen I've not-so-long-ago had fun conversations about creativity (and most likely THEIR creations) with -- like Fran's list, not really a particular order, and it keeps growing in time:

Well, the point to the Bacon number is that everyone relates to one single individual... in the film industry, this individual is Kevin Bacon.

So, to do this properly, you need to pick an av who can play this role... either someone who's been around since day 1, or someone well enough known to qualify.

Nice thread, apparantly I am 4 steps away from Kevin Bacon (according to Washu)

I'll try and put together a list tomorrow.

Funny enough, I was just thinking about this the other night... how it'll be like 2 steps between everyone, at most.

What did you make with me?


:O I can't believe you don't remember! I will now tell everyone to embarass you!

Aimee was helping me decorate my shop, and part of it is a warehouse space. Anyways, I needed cardboard boxes, so Aimee was trying to help me photosource it. But the problem was, she didn't have a cardboard box either.

But, being an enterprising young lass, Aimee noticed that her neighbor had a delivered package outside his door. So, she stole it, and took pictures of it for me :)

So now we know that Aimee steals her textures!

Someone's gotta bring home the Bacon, haven't they?

I mean, we've gotta have some "root av" from which to count links, right?

Maybe we oughta have a "Philip number"or a "Robin number". It could take off from the Governor's Mansion, the first link in the chain(s) being whoever built it (Steller? Lordfly?).

But anyway...

Shall we call it a Steller Number then?

Has anyone worked on any projects with Steller? So we can extend the network and eventually reach our ever-lovin' selves?
