Sometimes I want to make a comment on a Nasty Nets post, but I can’t think of anything to say other than “Whoa, that’s Awesome!” or “Niiiiiiiice!” or “Keep up the good work!!!!” or “Wicked good idea!!!!”
Frustrated by my inability to translate my appreciation and/or psyched-ness into words, I usually end up saying nothing at all.
In an attempt to remedy this, I’ve taken a cue from b3ta and created my own props-giving animated gif (subject to change).

From the Erdős–Bacon number wikipedia page:
An individual’s ErdÅ‘s–Bacon number is the sum of one’s ErdÅ‘s number—which measures the “collaborative distance” in authoring mathematical papers between that individual and Hungarian mathematician Paul ErdÅ‘s—and one’s Bacon number—which represents the number of links, through roles in films, by which the individual is separated from actor Kevin Bacon.
Danica McKellar, Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years, has an Erdős–Bacon number of 6.
