My Erdös Number is THREE

__________________________________________

My Kevin Bacon Number is TWO

Robert J. Marks, II appeared in Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed with Ben Stein

Ben Stein appeared in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon

___________________________________

Therefore, my Erdös - Bacon Number sum is FIVE

_______________________________

I stole this idea from Professor Donald Wunsch who has an Erdös Number of two and who offered to appear as an extra in a Kevin Bacon Movie. That would give him a Erdös - Bacon Number sum of three and tie him for first place for all time and win him top honors for engineers. Don is still waiting to hear from Kevin. When he does, I will immediately (albeit reluctantly) surrender my crown.
