Found a funny video on YouTube...



The only complaint I have is about the comments that other viewers have left for this video. I won't link to them, because some of them are off-color. Sufficed to say, it seems pretty evenly split between those how understood it and loved it, or those who hated it, either because they didn't understand or because they thought it was "stupid" and "geeky". My issue has to do with the later group. It seems that there is a cultural pull within our society to attack or critize anything involving higher educational topics or intellectually demanding concepts. Some people assume that anything they don't understand is "stupid". Perhaps it's just a self-defense mechanism. It's easier to smash the monolith with a thigh bone that it is to open the mind to new concepts and accept that there is more to this world than a 6th grade education can supply.

BTW, both my 6th grader and my 4th grader can tell you what the mathmatical constant i is. I'll have to show them this video. I'm sure they will get a kick out of it. In fact, come to think of it, the concept of a blind date will probably be the toughest thing to explain...
