Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Master Shake

Friday, February 16th, 2007

First, read the rules of the game.

This week’s challenge will be tasty beverage, erstwhile Boston terror suspect, and Lou Costello soundalike Master Shake.

I was able to link Master Shake to Sir Francis Bacon in four 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 22.

Good luck!

And congratulations once again to Lee for winning last week’s challenge by linking Peyton Manning to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees:

Peyton Manning > Dan Marino > Courteney Cox > Bruce Springsteen > Elvis Costello > William Shakespeare > Sir Francis Bacon

Peyton Manning in 2004 beat the record for touchdown passes in a single season set in 1984 by Dan Marino, who appeared in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective with Courteney Cox, who appeared in the video for “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen, who performed The Clash’s “London Calling” at the 2003 Grammy Awards with Elvis Costello, who based his ballet Il Sogno on A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, who is believed by some to be Sir Francis Bacon.
