TMI Tuesday - Six Degrees Edition

Jack's Answers

1. What famous people share your birthday? Any the same year as well as day?
Steve Martin, Mila Kunis, Wim Wenders, David Crosby, Gary Larson. There are a few allegedly famous people who share the year as well as the day, but they weren't famous enough (to me) to warrant inclusion.

2. Have you ever shared an address (before, during or after) with anyone famous?
I onced shared living space with Ted Kaczynski - that's right, the Unabomber - when we both attended Harvard University in the late 1950s. Either that, or no I haven't. Not sure which.

3. Who else has your name? (Google yourself and see who else shows up)
My full name is pretty uncommon, so I figured I'd list some folks who share my first name: Jack Bauer, Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Harkness, Jack Skellington, Jack Sprat, Jack Nicholson, Jack Kerouac, Jack Kennedy, Jack Black, Jack White, Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk fame, Jack Benny, Jack Lemmon, Jack the Ripper, Jack Squat, Jack Shit, Jackass, Jackalope, Jackanapes, Jack Off, Jackrabbit, Jack-o-Lantern, Jack of All Trades, Jackpot. That's all I got.


4. Test the Six Degrees theory. Do you know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who knows President Obama? How about, say Dolly Parton?
I literally have no clue whether anyone I know is six degrees (or even twelve) away from President Obama, or Dolly Parton, or anyone else. However...see below.


5. Try the sexual version. Have you had sex with someone who might have . . . anyone famous? (e.g. I slept with a woman who had slept with a Hollywood stuntman, who might have....)
I slept with someone who claimed to have had sex with someone who worked for Bill Clinton in his second term. That person could very well have had sex with with one of the many women Clinton had sex with.

If I did, it's news to me!

3. Who else has your name? (Google yourself and see who else shows up)
I entered my maiden name into Google and found that I share names with a novelist, a photographer, and a musician, and that was just the first three results!

4. Test the Six Degrees theory. Do you know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who knows President Obama? How about, say Dolly Parton?
I know a couple famous people in less than six degrees. Of course, I probably shouldn't mention them by name.

5. Try the sexual version. Have you had sex with someone who might have . . . anyone famous? (e.g. I slept with a woman who had slept with a Hollywood stuntman, who might have....)
This one is definitely a yes!
