Project Paper Moon - the largest cover-up and fraud ever perpetrated by the US Government upon its people - has finally been declassified, over 50 years after it was started. Now, all of the people who helped to fake the moon landing can finally come clean, and talk about their roles in the project..

A small Erdös number - the relative authorship distance between oneself and Paul Erdös - has long been a source of pride for mathematicians, computer scientists and other geeks. Utilizing similar separation metrics, a small Bacon number (the degree of separation from Kevin Bacon) has been a source of pride for actors, while a small Sabbath number (the degree of separation from Black Sabbath) has been a source of pride for musicians. We extend and improve on previous work in Erdös+Bacon minimization to provide a benchmark Erdös+Bacon+Sabbath minimization that is believed to be close to optimal (2 + 2 + 3), and beats the pants off the competition.
