First, read the rules of the game<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This week’s challenge is voice artist Tress MacNeille<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Note that she does a lot of voices on The Simpsons<\/em> (including the Crazy Cat Lady!) but most of these links are to a page that is a list of recurring characters. Since this is not an individual’s page, it may not be used in this challenge.<\/p>\n

Still, I was able to link Tress MacNeille 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, December 13. <\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n

And congratulations to Neel Mehta for winning last week’s challenge<\/a> by linking Washington Irving<\/a> to Sir Francis Bacon<\/a> in an amazing two degrees:<\/p>\n

Washington Irving > Edgar Allan Poe > Sir Francis Bacon<\/p>\n

Washington Irving is said to have encouraged Edgar Allan Poe, who argued that he did not write from the empirical method of modern science set by Sir Francis Bacon.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Since Neel’s winning entry, the Poe page has been edited (ostensibly in earnest) to remove the Bacon link. Perfectly eligible for last week’s challenge, the Poe-Bacon link may not be used for this week’s. Such is Wikipedia.<\/p>\n
