For Round 8, we thought we'd see if we can link Steve to Mother of the Year and role model for the world's youth, Miss Britney Spears. Remember, you have to link her to Steve in 6 steps or less. Points awarded for creativity and obscurity. (And don't think you can just say they both have great hair cuts!).]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-8-%e2%80%93-britney-spears/feed/ 12 http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-7-%e2%80%93-maria-sharapova-2/ http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-7-%e2%80%93-maria-sharapova-2/#comments Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:28:00 +0000 Dr. Macenstein http://macenstein.com/default/archives/856 For Round 7, we thought we'd mix up this sausage fest and inject a little estrogen into the game. And what better place to start than with the lovely Maria Sharapova, international tennis star and spokesmodel for almost every major company known to man. ]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-7-%e2%80%93-maria-sharapova-2/feed/ 3 http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-6-%e2%80%93-cousin-oliver/ http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-6-%e2%80%93-cousin-oliver/#comments Tue, 09 Oct 2007 21:12:57 +0000 Dr. Macenstein http://macenstein.com/default/archives/850 Alright, Round 6 both stretches the definition of celebrity and dates the good Doctor a bit. Can you link Steve Jobs to Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch? For those that do not remember Cousin Oliver, he is the Scrappy-Doo of The Brady Bunch. For those of you who do not remember Scrappy-Doo, I envy you, and suggest you do not look him up.]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-6-%e2%80%93-cousin-oliver/feed/ 10 http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-5-%e2%80%93-ralph-wiggum/ http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-5-%e2%80%93-ralph-wiggum/#comments Sun, 07 Oct 2007 02:10:49 +0000 Dr. Macenstein http://macenstein.com/default/archives/844 Alright, Round 5 is our first attempt to link Steve Jobs to a fictional character – none other that The Simpson's "Ralph ' I Bent my Wookie' Wiggum".

Can anyone link the world's most lovable CEO (that would be Jobs) to the most hated man in the world – Osama Bin Laden? (Well, most hated in the US, anyway).

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout, people! Give it up for Mr. John... F... Kennedy! (Ok, maybe this basketball isn't working after all). So, can you link Steve Jobs to JFK in 6 steps or less? (without using the film JFK as a step?). Good luck!]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-3-%e2%80%93-john-f-kennedy/feed/ 9 http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-2-%e2%80%93-kato-kaelin/ http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-2-%e2%80%93-kato-kaelin/#comments Tue, 02 Oct 2007 20:45:29 +0000 Dr. Macenstein http://macenstein.com/default/archives/839 This round features everyone's favorite non-Ito OJ trial celebrity (from the first OJ trial, that is), Kato Kaelin. Anyone out there have the ability to link him to the almighty Steve in 6 steps or less?]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-2-%e2%80%93-kato-kaelin/feed/ 14 http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-1/ http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-1/#comments Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:43:39 +0000 Dr. Macenstein http://macenstein.com/default/archives/838 The first name I am going to throw out there is Bill Cosby. Can you link Steve Jobs to Bill Cosby in 6 steps or less? Fewest Steps wins. Good luck!]]> http://macenstein.com/default/2007/10/6-degrees-of-steve-jobs-round-1/feed/ 15
