Hm, it seems like basically any actor you can think of off the top of your head has a Bacon number of 2 (or less). I guess that makes sense. Anyone have some interesting examples of 4+ bacon numbers??
Oh yeah, and stephen hawking is 3.
The highest I can find after some research is a 7. If you want to see it, Rot-13 this: Jvyyvnz Ehshf Funsgre
Edit: I promise this isn't a Rick Roll.
Edit: apparently William Rufus Shafter's Bacon number is 7.
