mcgillianaire | Nazi Bunkers and Microsoft's 6.6 Degrees of Separation (w/ thanks to <lj site="livejournal.com" user (Reply)

It's not often that the Daily Mail captures my attention with unique and interesting stories and as is typical, yesterday there were two such stories. One involved the unearthing of secret Nazi bunkers that had lay hidden for more than fifty years, and the other involved a group of Microsoft researchers trying to prove the six degrees of separation theory by studying the addresses of 30 billion instant messages sent through its network in a single month in 2006. Apparently it's closer to seven degrees of separation, but don't worry, you're still only four degrees separated from The Queen and Sachin Tendulkar through me. :)
