Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Benjamin Franklin

Friday, October 12th, 2007

First, read the rules of the game.

This week’s challenge is, according to the Firesign Theatre, the only U.S. President never to be a U.S. President. It’s Founding Father and polymath Benjamin Franklin.

I was able to link Benjamin Franklin to Sir Francis Bacon in fewer than six degrees, though that shouldn’t stop you from posting a longer response, or looking for a shorter one. Entries will be accepted until midnight on Thursday, October 18.

Good luck!

UPDATE: This game is no longer active. DeLisa posted an unbeatable entry: two degrees!
