Hey, did you catch that new show on History channel "Six Degrees of Francis Bacon" yet?
It's the same premise as the show Connections, where they make six connections from point A to point F.
Example, last night's show was thus:
Connect in six degrees, Wooly Mammoths to the repair of the Hubble Space telescope.
Wooly Mammoths prompted early man to create harpoons. Harpoons helped build the whaling industry
The decline of Whale Oil prompted a new lighting method.
The invention of the light bulb caused the burgeoning of the vacuum tube industry.
The vacuum tube industry led to development of pressurized suits to work in vacuum chambers.
These suits allowed the space crew to work in space to attach the optics that would fix the Hubble Telescope.
Connections was still better. The host of this new show is a bit annoying, but it still beats network television.
Hey that is the same thing Micheal Moore did with George Bush and bin Ladin in Farenheit 9/11.
