I had my picture taken with Samuel L. Jackson once.

The treacherous git Tony Blair has an appointment to visit the Queen every week.

The Queen once attended a function at which my brother was also a guest.

My brother met the Queen.

So Pisky is three degrees of separation from Tony Blair ... :shk:

Man I got a million of those. Except you wouldn't know any of the people because they're not famous or anything like that.

Ok, here goes. I haven't seen the movie 6 degrees of separation, but apparently they claimed everyone in the world was connected by 6 degrees. Thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised. I shall now prove that I am connected to Queen Victoria by 6 degrees of separation.

6) Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and died in 1901. She became Queen in 1837. The Queen is the person who bestows knighthoods upon people.
5) Sir George Simpson was governor of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada from 1821 to 1856. He was knighted in 1841 and died in 1860. This means he was knighted by Queen Victoria.
4) Henry Bird Steinhauer was an Ojibwa Indian, who was a member of the Methodist faith. Conflicting dates for his birth/death are on the Web, but it was from around 1820 to around 1884. He became a famous Methodist missionary.
3) Arthur Steinhauer was the grandson of Henry Steinhauer. He is included in this 6 degrees of separation simply to maintain the link of people who actually met, since Henry Steinhauer died before Ralph was born.
2) The Honourable Ralph G. Steinhauer was the first native Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta. He was born in 1905, and was L-G from 1974 to 1979. His adoptive father was Arthur Steinhauer
1) Cecil John Henry Purves was the mayor of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada from 1977 to 1983. He is most famous for bringing the Commonwealth Games to Edmonton. He therefore would have known the lieutenant governor, who lives in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta.
0) Me. Cecil Purves is a member of my church, and so I have met him.

Therefore, I am six degrees of separation from Queen Victoria.

Here's mine... I can do two famous people in one fell swoop.

Renée Zellweger dated Jack White (of the White Stripes),
Jack White it Joe Gillis's brother,
Joe Gillis works with my dad,
My dad is... my dad? Yeah, I guess that's how I'd end that one...

Madonna was born the same date and hospital as my dad,
My dad no doubt saw her, though not knowing who she was at the time, in the maternity ward,
The my dad thing again...

That's about all I can do

One of my regular customers was President Weiszaeker of
Germany.

He knew Queen Elizabeth II

She knew her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra.

She Knew her mother-in-law, Queen Victoria.

She knew her uncle, King William IV.

He knew his father, King George III.

My father worked for SABIC.
He once met a crown prince of Suadi Arabia.
The crown princes father was the king (borther now king, relative of some kind, eh).
They both know Osama Bin Laden's father.
Osama bin Laden's father knows Osama bin Laden.
