Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Punxsutawney Phil
Friday, February 2nd, 2007First, read the rules of the game. There are some minor clarifying edits to the rules this week.
This week’s challenge will be the world’s most famous groundhog weatherman, Punxsutawney Phil.
I was able to link Punxsutawney Phil 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 Thursday, February 8.
Good luck!
And congratulations once again to Lee for winning last week’s challenge by linking Chuck Hagel to Sir Francis Bacon in four degrees:
Chuck Hagel > Ronald Reagan > Richard Nixon > William Shakespeare > Sir Francis Bacon
Chuck Hagel was nominated in 1981 to serve as Deputy Administrator of the Veteran’s Administration by Ronald Reagan, who supported the 1960 presidential candidacy of Richard Nixon, who in high school showed a penchant for the writings of William Shakespeare, who is believed by some to be Sir Francis Bacon.
