Bacon Numbers
Yesterday a requirements meeting at work had a sidebar in which one of the managers was calculating Bacon numbers for a few different actors (no, I don't recall what started it). Someone mentioned that there was an online tool for calculating the Bacon number of any actor in IMDB, so this morning I went looking for it, and I found it from a link on the Wikipedia page.

1. One actor that came up in the meeting was Luciano Pavarotti, which seemed like a real challenge. The manager came up with a Bacon number of 6, but I stumbled across a bit of information on the Wikipedia page that showed it was only 2. What single actor connects Pavarotti and Bacon?

2. Bacon is not actually the most-connected actor in IMDB. Who is?

1. Eddie Albert. He was in Yes Giorgio with Pavarotti and The Big Picture with Bacon.

2. Rod Steiger (who has a Bacon number of 2 through Andie MacDowell).

Kevin Bacon was on Celebrity Jeopardy with Alex Trebek
Alex Trebek was on Jeopardy with contestant Steven Silver

Pretty well.

Knocked off a 4-day champion, won a second day, and then got knocked off on his third appearance, with a total of $15k

There's only one thing that tastes like bacon, and that's bacon salt! Or pretty anything that has hickory smoke flavor: Blue Diamond's Smokehouse Almonds are really good.
