Are we really six degrees away from Kevin Bacon?

The Kevin Bacon theory states that any person can be linked to Kevin Bacon within six degrees or steps. Researchers of course decided that they must get to the bottom of this. They examined 30 billion electronic conversations that took place between 180 people. They used the Microsoft Messenger network fro June 2006.

They concluded that any two random people are 6.6 degrees apart. This makes me want to dress my best & go around with perfect makeup & no acne. You never know when you'll run into Cary Grant's great great grand son. Now I just need to call six people & get Matt Damon's phone number.
