Aren't Assumptions Fascinating?

Assumptions are fascinating. Even in the days of the internet when we stagger around from one information source to another, and you have no means of understanding someone's information route, we can still make the most interesting assumptions. The theory of six degrees of separation means that anyone can be connected to any other person through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. This seems like an awfully small chain, and yet there is no sense of connection with the end-point of that chain. I think this is responsible for the feeling that we can be light-years away from the information that we need on the internet and still have the seductive feeling of adjacency - "Just one more click and then I'll find it". Or, why can we still be surprised when we come across the most unexpected pieces of information (a voluntary end-point) that we might never have suspected to exist (particularly not in relation to where we started)?

For instance. We sing during Happystance workshops. I like spoofs and parodies written to well-known tunes, like those at which includes the excellent I Swear This Is the Last Time I'll Go Boating With Odysseus.
