The 6 Degrees of seperation

Th theory of the 6 degrees of separation is an interesting one. It theories that you can be connected to almost anyone by only six acquaintances such as, my cousins substitute teacher is Bill Gates tennis partner (actually true, amazing isn't it?) Is this theory true or not? I myself would think it would work for almost anyone. It has been becoming a smaller world with faster ways to travel and communicate. With the magical powers of the blago-sphere I know people in Japan, Greece and many other countries. A real big factor in this theory would be how many people you are acquainted with. Most people 290 to a few thousand people give or take a few.

A hermit probably wont be able to brag that his cousin's , pet sitter's brother knows Bill gates but you with the prowess of the internet (of course you do or you couldn't read this) might be able to say something along those lines during our great information age.
