Okay.

Edward Norton was in Fight Club with Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt was in Ocean's Eleven with Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon 

Two degrees from Ed to Kevin, Two degrees from you to Ed.  You're 
four from Kevin Bacon.

But how about something a tad more fun:

Edward Norton was in Fight Club with Meatloaf
Meatloaf was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Susan Sarandon
Susan Sarandon was in Stepmom with Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon

Or better yet:

Edward Norton was in American History X with Fairuza Balk
Fairuza Balk was in The Waterboy with Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler was in Big Daddy with Joey Lauren Adams
Joey Lauren Adams was in Chasing Amy (or Mallrats or Jay and Silent 
Bob Strike Back) with Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck was in Bounce with Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow was in Shakespeare in Love with Joseph Fiennes
Joseph Fiennes was in Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett was in LotR with Hugo Weaving
Hugo Weaving was in The Matrix with Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves was in Point Break with Lori Petty
Lori Petty was in A League of Their Own with Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan (or The Green Mile) with Barry 
Pepper
Barry Pepper was in We Were Soldiers with Chris Klein
Chris Klein was in American Pie (or American Pie 2) with Eugene Levy
Eugene Levy was in Waiting for Guffman with Catherine O'Hara
Catherine O'Hara was in Home Alone with Macaulay Caulkin (sp?)
Macaulay Caulkin was in My Girl with Dan Aykroyd
Dan Aykroyd was in The Blues Brothers with John Belushi
John Belushi was in Animal House with.....Kevin Bacon!

Ahh, that's too much fun.  Sure, there are a number of ways to 
shorten that list, but that takes the fun away.  Has anyone here seen 
The Player?  Pretty damn good movie in its own right, but it takes 
all the fun out of Six Degrees because about 90 celebrities or so are 
in it.  No fair using that movie.  You can get from anyone to anyone 
using that movie (perhaps using characters with more than ten lines 
of dialogue in that movie is okay, but not the cameos).
