I have kind of run thru this in my head a few times and it grows very fast. Mainly becasue my sister thur work has met Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Ralph Nadar and a few other big time pols. I also have travel thru out Europe, Africa and Central America, as well as the US. Going thru my sister I figure I am max 4 out form most of the leaders in the world.

Small world project

[ QUOTE ]
In this project, we intend to perform the first large scale, global verification of the small world hypothesis, using the modern Email equivalent of Milgram's passport innovation. We hope to test not only average properties of lengths of acquaintance chains, but also the distribution of lengths, along with the effect of race, class, nationality, occupation, and education. We intend to
quantify the impact of additional target information upon search success and chain length, and
also to investigate the importance of "centers" individuals who are thought to exist who are disproportionately responsible for directing messages to the targets.
