If you’re home sick and poking around online, this website is kind of neat. They created visualizations to show which actors are among the top of the most connected. And actually, it’s not Kevin Bacon, he ranks at 175th.
Can you guess who’s in the number one spot? Check out the site and you can enter different actors’ names and see where they land.
@ShiroKuro Don’t be sorry; I didn’t like it either!
Does anyone know 9 or 15? We’re stumped over here.
Totally clueless!
@AdagioM doh! I knew I should have known that one!
Also, that is a horrible, horrible song and I’ve always hated it! 
Sorry!
@AdagioM I have never heard this song (I’m listening now on YT).
***Answers to 12, 14, 16***
@wtg thanks! I couldn’t find it on my phone, but when I opened it on my iPad I saw it, and then I realized that to do it on the phone, you have to turn the phone sideways to see the option. 
***answers***
ETA ok that was only a test
@wtg lemme try…
Test
I don’t think I can guess the rest, but I feel like I’ll groan in recognition when I hear the answers.
I think I got number 12 too. Pretty sure.
Nope, it looks likethis forum doesn’t have spoiler bars. (I guess I got confused because Piano Tell does)
I got Number 14 and 16.
Maybe we should post them behind spoiler bars. This forum has those, right?

This article in the NYT (paywall free link below) is the first I’ve heard about this “home equity investment” but wow does it sound like a bad idea!!
Financial technology companies, including Hometap, Unlock, Unison and Point, give homeowners cash in a lump sum, based on percentage of the home’s current value, in exchange for a share of the home’s value at some point in the future. Homeowners agree to make a lump-sum payment at the end of the contract term — typically, 10 or 30 years — or earlier if the home is sold.
If homeowners can’t pay in full when the contract terminates, they can possibly take out another contract or mortgage to pay it off. If they can’t, they may be forced to sell their home.
Unlike traditional mortgages, the contracts don’t disclose an interest rate. Rather, homeowners are typically required to pay a percentage of the home’s value, or its increase in value, in a balloon payment at the end of the term. This is risky, consumer lawyers say, because it’s difficult to know what the home’s value will be and, therefore, how large a payment will be due.
In some cases, the terms entitle the provider to a payoff of double the percentage used to calculate the initial payout,
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
And also, there’s nonsense thing as free money.
Good grief.
Yikes!
Wonder what criteria they used to determine that it was dirty socks and not just regular socks …
What about that stuff you can buy to turn liquid into solid for disposal, I think it’s like putting sand into paint or cleaning supplies? Or kitty litter actually. Would that help?
