TMBG Numbers is a project I've been devising, which calculates the degrees of separation someone or something is from They Might Be Giants. Yes, it's a ripoff of the Bacon Number.

Below is a list of people/things and their TMBG Numbers and explanations. This is an ongoing project, so it'll be updated sometimes. Y'know, when I'm not lazy.
