Interesting, to say the least. Thanks for showing us.

It appears the narrator only draws two breaths during the entire 4:35 monologue. And where can I get a pencil that never requires sharpening?

The video's composer, Vi Hart, has done some other neat stuff in the blend of art, math, and music. See www.vihart.com or Google for more.

That was wonderful, thanks! I'll be sending that link to my son, who thinks of mathematics as the manifestation of evil. Maybe this will give him something positive on which to focus.

Even my wife, who can't understand my obsessive need to hang out with you freaks, was drawn to that video and watched the entire thing.

I've look at one other, it's good too.

Happy Holidays

What else can you call people who have regular, meaningful conversations with cats, squirrels, aliens and other assorted varieties of life forms? Oh, I forgot vermin and grimlins.

Cheers all.
