Krystina Ptasinski, an actress who majored in religion as well as theater at Butler University, has a Bacon Number of 2<\/a>. And since I know Krystina, that makes my Bacon Number 3. And if you are acquainted with me, that makes yours a 4, unless you have a closer connection by another route.<\/p>\n Can \u201creads the blog of\u201d be a close enough connection for this purpose? If so, then you can follow Kevin Bacon on Twitter<\/a> and have a Bacon Number of 1.<\/p>\n But if blog reading and Twitter following doesn\u2019t cut it for these purposes, then I wonder whether we could attract majors to Butler University\u2019s religion program by pointing out that taking classes and becoming acquainted with the professors will boost your Bacon Number?<\/p>\n In related news, my colleague Brent Hege pointed out that Rashida Jones majored in religion and philosophy at Harvard<\/a>. And so that needs to be added to all the \u201cWhat you can do with a degree in religion<\/a>\u201d lists<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, if you have determined that your Bacon Number is 4 as a result of your acquaintance with me, then I would point out that, according to Google, you share the same Bacon Number as Ludwig van Beethoven:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Still looking for more out of this post? Or are you perhaps a millennial who read this post and is still trying to figure out who Kevin Bacon is?
