[quote=Anonymous]Have you ever heard the theory of six degrees of separation.  It postulates that everyone is within six degrees (A knows B who knows C is two degrees of separation) of everyone else on Earth.  I find "small world" kind of things like this periodically.  Like going on my honeymoon and in the airport on the Big Island of Hawaii running into someone from my office.  It turns out he was going to a conference there and his wife was along for the vacation.  It would never occur to me that my coworker came all the way to Hawaii to stalk me.  It was just a coincidence.  Frankly, the real explanation sounds far more plausible than that he would pack up his family in a car and drive them a hour away just to go to a park so that he could stalk a coworker.  How would he explain the idea of going to that park to his wife?  "Yes, it really is much better than the several dozen parks near our home and between here and there.  The children will love to be strapped into their car seats for an hour each way to play in a neighborhood park that is about the same as the one down the street.  And by the way, do you know ANYONE who lives in that part of town that we can drop in on?  Great, can you call her and ask her to drop by the park to chit chat?"[/quote]
