I have a Bacon Number of 4

I was in Macbeth with Ailidh Mackay
who was in Atonement with Keira Knightley (mmm)
who was in Love Actually with Colin Firth
who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon.

Anyone out there got an Erdos number, and if so, can we co-author something?

Five, apparently. Yes, yes, I am desperately sad.

I take it you saw the recent XKCD strip?

[gominokouhai]

Yes, that's what got me thinking.

Doesn't everyone have an Erdos number? Just a very big one, for most of us?

[gominokouhai]

No.

I have an Erdős number of 7.

The Cascaded Learning Scheme Initial Document (remember that?) totally counts as an academic publication. We did it in LaTeX and everything. I have an Erdos number of 8, thank you and good night.
