You all know how much the concept of "degrees of separation" intrigues me...or perhaps you don't. Nevertheless, you do now. I thought my world could be no smaller or recognizably populated than when I found out that I was 2 degrees of separation from Oprah Winfrey, and therefore 3 degrees away from any person of consequence in our day and age.
However, I have the connection to top them all. I am 3 degrees of separation from Adolf Hitler. Top THAT!
I know my professor, Dr. Culbert, who knew Leni Riefenstahl (interviewed her twice, in fact), who, of course, was quite intimately acquainted with the Führer.
So: Me-Professor-Leni-Hitler
I think the roommate and I are going shopping, so here shall I end my revel in the historical awesomeness of my connections.
P.S. all of you are now 4 degrees of separation from Hitler, so chew on that.
