I&#x27;m actually a little shocked that they don&#x27;t at all mention Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in this, which surely must have been at least in part the inspiration for it.  (The Oracle of Bacon - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;oracleofbacon.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;oracleofbacon.org&#x2F;</a> - still cheerfully works after, oh, a decade and a half or so.)
