   I think I’ve got crop circles, Doc.

   —What makes you say that, Merle?

   Well, I’ve got crops, right?

   —Right.

   And a circle is a closed plane curve, every point of which is equidistant from a fixed point within the curve, right?

   —Well, yeah, if you say so, Merle, but I don’t see what . . .

   Look, don’t you get it, Doc? There’s nothing else they could be!

   I've reeeally been enjoying Wimp. I learned more there in 15 minutes today than all year on the other websites I seem looped into. ie. How did the Egyptians multiply and divide? Check. (Same as modern computers)

   DP for the win

   Sometimes, the best way to slow down is by speeding things up around you.

   Re: Dish

   Just discovered something amazing at the lab.
    

   

   That beauty
   be it ever so
   impossibly still
   is yet a kind of life

   And that life
   is still as ever
   and yet so impossibly
   beautiful

    No, wait.

    Beauty is in the eyes of the bee holder, no?

    For bees, a jolly good fellow
    For bees, a jolly good fellow
    For bees, a jolly good feh-heh-low . . .

    —And so say all a-buzz.

    File this one under:

    For you design and marketing enthusiasts out there, this vid employs just about every trick in the book.

    Can you figure what it has to do with the OP theme, though?

    Watch closely. It all whizzes by pretty fast.

    Mandelbrot used IBM computing to create fractal geometry. If you haven't already, check out The Colors of Infinity. It's a great documentary on the Mandelbrot Set.

    There's too much advertising embedded in this vid, but other than that, it's pretty good, from a layperson's point of view.
