Six Degrees of Ranganathan

srranganathanpng

Bound to be your new, favorite library game. Learn everything you can about the library guru and then challenge your friends to out-six-degrees you. More fun than “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” because a.) It’s library-related, so obviously excellent; b.) It’s obscure, which as we all know means “hip”, and 3.) SDofKB gets easier and easier every day, and you like a challenge. Also, when it comes to Library Science, Ranganathan was like the coolest guy around. Theo did it in reverse, but he’s off to a good start with a hybrid Six Degrees of RangaBacon sort of thing:

1. Ranganathan died in 1972 which was the same year that the Pierre Hotel Robbery happened.
2. The Pierre Hotel was robbed by Samuel Nalo and Robert Comfort of the Luchese crime family.
3. Don Licio Lucchesi was a character named in the Godfather part III.
4. The Godfather Part III co-starred Sofia Coppola who was also in The Outsiders.
5. The Outsiders starred Matt Dillon who (6) was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.

Tasty.
