Erdős number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Erdős number (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɛrdøːʃ]) describes the "collaborative distance" between a person and mathematician Paul Erdős, as measured by authorship of mathematical papers.
The same principle has been proposed for other eminent people in other fields.

Link by Link - Creator of Web Cartoon xkcd Writing a Paper Book - NYTimes.com
IT’S not exactly Quentin Tarantino directing Ibsen, or Jeff Gordon racing go-carts, but the idea that Randall Munroe, creator of the online comic strip xkcd — wildly popular among techies the world over for its witty use of programming code in its gags — would for the first time publish a book is still something of a head scratcher.

MichaelBarrier.com -- Interviews: Charles M. Schulz
Later on, when Franklin was introduced into the strip, the little black kid—I could have put him in long before that, but for other reasons, I didn't. I didn't want to intrude upon the work of others, so I held off on that. But I finally put Franklin in. They didn't like that. I never paid any attention to those things, and I remember telling Larry at the time about Franklin—he wanted me to change it, and we talked about it for a long while on the phone, and I finally sighed and said, "Well, Larry, let's put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How's that?" So that's the way that ended.

GizmoStyle // We Love The Web : Linux enters the I’m A Mac/I’m A PC row with ‘We’re Linux’
We’ve all seen the various Mac v PC ads but no Linux ads as of yet. And why would we? - Linux does not have the bank balance to finance Hollywood style adverts - remember Microsofts Jerry Seinfeld ad campaign? $10 million for what? Well, that’s all about to change as Linux have announced five finalists who have made adverts for their ‘We’re Linux’ video campaign. I must admit, they probably aren’t TV ready…..yet. We’ll see what Linux decide to do when they announce the winner tomorrow (Wednesday evening Pacific Time). Here are the 5 videos:

Overcoming Bias: To Spread Science, Keep It Secret
Right now, we've got the worst of both worlds. Science isn't really free, because the courses are expensive and the textbooks are expensive. But the public thinks that anyone is allowed to know, so it must not be important.

Ideally, you would want to arrange things the other way around.
