6 Degrees of separation

Though I've never actually played the infamous game, I found out yesterday just how small and incestous my faculty is. Talking with three friends, I got this:
1. My tutor (who is old, bitchy and a slave driver, and if I begin talking about her we'll be here all day) also tutored the teacher who's now tutoring 2 of my friends.
2. The third friend's tutor, a male professor, is the husband of the teacher who's tutoring my friend, and of course, as friendly as one can possibly be with my teacher (that is, friendly enough to conveniently using her to their advantage whenever possible).
And Kevin Bacon, you ask?
One of the friends I was talking to and myself were watching Footloose yesterday, when we had our little convo, and who starred in Footloose? None other than Kevin Bacon.
Don't you just love knowledge?

This conversation started with my msn nick. To elaborate, my msn nick has the word "Koyaanisqatsi" in it. It's a hopi (north-american natives) term, it means life out of balance, and it's also a movie, which I haven't seen but someone close to me did and told me he "wanted to see me seeing that movie", whatever that means. Anyway, and turn now cause this is about to get geeky, bio-geeky that is; it just so happens that my friend, who asked me about the meaning of my nick, also works in Microbiology (I'm in Virology, to be exact, but it's also microbiology tecnically) and there's a medium, used to identify bacteria that's called TSI, which is Triple Sugar Iron-agar. So he, who's a little off, that's why I like him so, asked me what the hopi had to do with Microbiology. I told him that aliens had come and given the Hopi Microbiology, like they came and gave the egiptians the technology to build the piramids. He complained that as usual, north americans were always doing things first. From there on, it just went downhill, as he modified a Pocahontas saying and went on to tell me that all is "a fraternal sinergism that's eternal" (modified from spanish, of course). The big breakthrough of the night came when he realized that to have said that, Pocahontas had to be Hopi. We consulted with our personal Disney expert, who didn't remember a reference to Pocahontas clan's name in the movie, which was good enough for us to deem her a Hopi.
Count the brain cells you lost reading this, then tell me the number.
