Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Dan Aykroyd

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

First, read the rules of the game.

I had wanted to use Beldar Conehead this week, to make up for my oversight in yesterday’s riddle, but he doesn’t seem to have a Wikipedia entry. What kind of world are we living in? So I guess this week’s challenge will have to be funnyman Dan Aykroyd.

I was able to link Dan Aykroyd to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees or fewer, 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, November 8.

Good luck!

And congratulations to UnixMan1960 for winning last week’s challenge by linking Jessica Alba to Sir Francis Bacon in three degrees:

Jessica Alba > Hugh Hefner > William Shakespeare > Sir Francis Bacon

Jessica Alba settled a lawsuit with Hugh Hefner, who often misquotes William Shakespeare, who is believed by some to be Sir Francis Bacon.
