    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          Yeah, but no one can actually compare it to the books (or radio show). ;)

            It brings me to a biography, a wikipedia explanation about the book and the 42 and to a forum site Googling a bit more I have found about the bacon numbers, didn't know about it. But nevermind, it was just a joke about the numbers. Don't need to get deeper

                I can imagine those before even reading this thinking: What about the bacon number dude, that's old news :^) I just found it very interesting to see that people you would never suspect it from has very Low bacon numbers :omg: Lets take Barack Obama. He has a bacon number of 2! :wtf: Same goes for Nelson Mandela! (Although I do not believe it fair that it is because his image was used in a film, cheaters :| ) you do not easily get past 4 although most are 2 :confused: even the great Leslie Nielsen has a 2... :~ Even people not in Hollywood, like Cristiano Ronaldo gets a 3! But I like that most of the bacon numbers I lookup ended in X-Men :rolleyes: So I am curious. What is the most interesting bacon number connection you have found?

                A bacon number of 2 pounds/day is associated with premature death due to heart disease; but what a way to go. :cool:

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                    8 is the best number to associate with bacon.

                        That's just scratching the surface - there's plenty more of them a-rind here.
