The 7 person rule
I heard a rule that if you know 7 people, you know EVERYBODY, because those 7 people network out to virtually the rest of Canada (or is it the world?).
The 7 person rule is also why it's such a "small world" when you meet somebody that knows somebody you know. You shouldn't be surprised by it, because the 7 person rule is always in effect.
Here's an example. Last semester, I was studying for an exam. The night before I realized I was facked. For the first few units in that course, I made exquisite summary sheets and e-mailed them off to everybody in my TA group, hoping they had summary's for the latter units and could send them to me. That e-mail was forwarded to a bunch of other people outside of my TA group. Specifically to a guy named DREW.
Drew adds me to MSN at 1 am the night before my 1 pm exam. It's crunch time. Me, him, and my friend form an emergency all nighter study session and we drink coffee's, cram, and watch the sunrise as we panic.
I ended up scoring 86% on that exam. Score.
So I meet up with Drew the other day for beers, and he asks me about Boa. His friend promotes there. He then said "back when I was working at Moores..." and I go "Hold up, is your friend Jeff Button?" aka. Floorwhore
YEAH!!
Small world? Or 7 person rule???
