Mathmaticious is Delicious

April 6, 2008 – 12:55 pm

Tom Lehrer can die in peace, now that the heir to his great tradition of mathematical musical doggerel (also this and this) has emerged from the steaming bowels of YouTube. Behold! And pay attention, class, because there’s going to be a short quiz next period.

Lyrics over the jump
PS:
Analytic and Algebraic Topology [...]

March 18, 2008 – 8:00 am

VFS and YouTube have just announced an international scholarship competition that should knock Chris Crocker off the front page and into the obscurity which has hungered for him ever since the Leave Britney Alone fifteen minutes started.
The prize is a full tuition scholarship to internationally-respected Vancouver Film School, the school out of which Kevin Smith [...]

Stephen Fry’s ding-a-ling. let me show u it

February 12, 2008 – 2:43 am

Sorry, I’m on a lolroll. Like a rickroll, but lol-ier. Allow Stephen Fry, possibly greatest living Brit of his generation, to explain the essential difference between the British and the American peoples, in this ad for Twining’s Tea which I stole from EliyahuBenMoshe.

I think that sweet Tyrone knows all about his [...]

Star Trek: O-Faces

February 1, 2008 – 4:01 am

SWF, at least technically, so don’t go reporting me to WordPress as a Mature blog; staff knows that the LAST thing I am is “mature.”
This charming video is neither more nor less than just what I said it was: a video roundup of (nouveau, NextGen, alas) Star Trek O-faces, including the funniest money shot in [...]

Robot Vampire vs the Four Hopping Ninjas of the Apocalypse

January 27, 2008 – 5:45 am

Hoo, baby, you don’t want to go up against the Four Hopping Ninjas of the Apocalypse! These fearsome, kangarooian warriors put even the terrible Lo Pan of Big Trouble in Little China to shame. The last time I saw these guys I was leaving the Shebeen late one night and caught the briefest glimpse before [...]

every little thing she does is Peanuts

January 18, 2008 – 8:04 am

Two of my favorite things: Linus sings The Police! A natural followup to the classic Peanuts Hey Ya.

Lyrics after the jump, and yes, I’m feeling a little low lately (like, since mid-December) so it’ll be YouTubes and quizzes and quotations and such unoriginal things (I lack even the strength to bother [...]

Tech Support Rant

January 16, 2008 – 4:35 am

Foamy the Squirrel says it so much better than I could…behold the story of my life for the last 48 hours. The MP3 player’s program will load on the Pentium III/Windows 98 machine but will not run. The PIII will download, but not run, drivers for memory sticks and other USB devices, although it HAS [...]
