Six steps from Terry and who do you find?

Let the record show that Darla could have (if she wanted to) connected my web site to Pablo Neruda in THREE links or to Michael Foucault in "approximately" FOUR links, but she followed the spirit of the exercise and stretched it out to six links, thereby demonstrating how _extra_ clever she is and how my web site may be the gravitational center of the universe.

Tenzin Gyatso - the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama [as found by Catherine McMullen. Thanks Catherine!]

The Reverend Bob Levy [As found by Reece Dano. Thanks {I think} Reece!]

Levy is part of the Howard Stern Show Web Ring??? This is modern religion???

Religious he is not! But, Bob is certainly one of the funniest, most irreverent, innovative comedians on the circuit today. A favorite of radio superstar Howard Stern, Bob is a frequent guest of the show. When it comes to working a crowd, Bob consistently works them into a frenzy! People say he's over the line, blunt, politically incorrect, and oh yeah, FUNNY. Just because Bob's forte' is working the crowd he does not go on stage and just pick on people, He has a polished, well groomed act that took years to create and audiences are loving it. An incredible performer, Bob's knack for off the cuff humor is the best in the business.> - Barry Jay, Stress Factory
