Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Bert

First, read the rules of the game.

I had to change the rules this week, after realizing that England links to Sir Francis Bacon, and I didn’t want the game to turn into Five Degrees of England. Now you can only link through individuals, which I think will make it feel more like the original Kevin Bacon game.

This week’s challenge will be our old buddy Bert.

Bert can be linked to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees, though that shouldn’t stop you from posting a longer response, or looking for a shorter one. Entries will be accepted until midnight on Friday, January 26.

Good luck!

And congratulations to Ro for winning last week’s challenge by linking Genghis Khan to Sir Francis Bacon in five degrees (before the rules changed):

Genghis Khan > Mongol Empire > China > Gunpowder > Four Great Inventions of ancient China > Sir Francis Bacon

    Bert > Hitler > Neville Chamberlain > Shakespeare > Bacon

    mmm bacon

    Four degrees. That’s a beautiful thing.

    And all because of the Bert is Evil site, and the fact that Neville Chamberlain used to quote Shakespeare in the public debates of the day.

    By the way, I really didn’t want this game to become Five Degrees of England. I have absolutely no problem with this game becoming Five Degrees of William Shakespeare if that’s what ends up happening.
