Crazy Research Project

I know this may seem crazy, but I am participating in an experiment with Columbia University called the Small World Project to test the 6-degress of separation theory. I heard about this from an ABC News PrimeTime special on the topic. The project was one of their links/sources for the story.

I am supposed to find some connection to a receptionist at a women's clinic in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. So far I have found some friends who have connections in Spain and one with the hotel chain where this person once worked.

It's going to be interesting to see how this ends. I will keep you posted.

Meanwhile, if you have any connections to:
Palma de Mallorca, Spain,
Balearic Islands, Spain;
Dublin, Ireland;
Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare, Ireland;
León, Spain; or
Kells, Co Meath, Ireland

drop me a note. It may be cheating to use my blog, but if I can establish a connection with you, then I guess it is okay.
