%xhtml-lat1; %xhtml-special; %xhtml-symbol; --> ]> InstaContent http://instacontent.blogspot.com/ The word on the street is that blogs are the new push, so this site was created to push links rather than jerry-rig some communication protocol to the task. It is updated sporadically as content is unearthed. I also like to experiment with leading-edge web standards, so please let me know if they are not degrading gracefully. Osama bin Laden: International Man of Mystery 2/18/2003 06:54:00 a.m. http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/

Ryley told me about a Slashdot sig that pointed out that Osama bin Laden may have links not only to Saddam Hussein, but to Kevin Bacon as well. Lo and behold, The Oracle of Bacon at Virginia helped me discover that:

  1. bin Laden was in Afghanistan: Land in Crisis (2002) with Sylvester Stallone (because in Rambo III he allies with the mujahedeen).
  2. Stallone was in Shade (2003) with Stuart Townsend.
  3. Townsend was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon.

There is a film called Naqoyqatsi which gives many public figures of the 20th Centry a Bacon Number of 3, but I think it's cheating. I also learned that Gov. Bush is the first President since Lyndon B. Johnson to have a Bacon Number of infinity.
