As in "Kevin", not pork.
Google has added a new feature that will give you the "Bacon Number" or any actor you want. As in "6-degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon". Seriously. Google "Bacon Number [Actor]" and you'll get a result.
It's hard as heck to come up with anyone with a number above 2.

Amy Okuda's Bacon number is 3
Damn,....... Snooki is a 3. That is what is wrong with this world.
Yeah, but has anyone been able to find a performer with a Bacon Number above a 3? I haven't.
It seems to only count movies, so I've been going with primarily TV stars, and I still can't get over 2.

I tried a B-grade movie (Scorpion King 3) and was still getting a lot of 2's (Billy Zane) and 3's (Kristal Vee)
Then I tried the tactic of kids who haven't been in more than a couple films (Joel Courtney from Super 8): He wasn't listed at all
The same for musicians who don't spend too much time hobnobbing with hollywood: Tom Petty is just not listed (...despite having a bit part in The Postman)

OK, I don't think google will show a number higher than 4. I just tried "Peter Tosh" (i.e. former band made of Bob Marley) and he was not listed.
