Cynthia heard an NPR interview with Kevin Bacon concerning his new charity initiative based on the much-circulated factoid about the nature of exponential series that each of us is six degrees (or handshakes or phonecalls...) from Kevin Bacon (or Bill Clinton or Nelson Mandela...). Have a look at http://www.sixdegrees.org/. Seems a great concept. Cynthia has created her own badge. Will try to add my herewith and hope it doesn't cause the CMS to crash!

Yes, there it is. Hans, I wonder if you could get Cynthia's and put it into our sidebar?
