How about Irving Kaplansky's song about pi?
3 1 41 Oh (5) my (9), here's (2) a (6) song (5) to (3) sing (5) about (8,9) pi (7).
Not a sigma or mu but a well-known Greek letter too.
You can have your alphas and the great phi-bates, and omega for a friend,
But that's just what a circle doesn't have--a beginning or an end.
3 1 4 1 5 9 is a ratio we don't define;
Two pi times radii gives circumf'rence you can rely;
If you square the radius times the pi, you will get the circle's space.
Here's a song about pi, fit for a mathematician's embrace.
Scroll down for a random puppet Spike.
Oy.
Rest of the stuff is pretty funny too.
Oh, that's awful. Love the Monty Python Horse Kit, though.
'Wrecked' is bad. But those shots of the floor in the crack den turning into a forest of the most vivid green and then, the beast, appearing and disappearing, dragging a woman's body behind are good. So dark and strange and too good for their surrounds.
Nicholas Brendon is getting good reviews in a play running in Los Angeles. (registration or bugmenot required for LA Times)
It's a play about Salvador Dali's brief stint working at Disney. Dali is played by...Noah Wylie.

Lobster Alice! Huzzah!
(It debuted at the Jungle Theater right when I moved back to the Cities. Actually not a large fan of the play, but glad to see more exposure.)
So, I got home and found a message I my answering machine from a woman who is half a couple I've had the first season of Buffy out to for years but they've never watched, in the hope of converting them (someone tried to convert the husband OUAT, and the episode in question was "Innocence" where he decided the way they dealt with the judge was so stupid vis-a-vis the prophecy for him that he's never given it a chance since), and who I did convert to FIREFLY and FARSCAPE.
The message? "Do you have the first season of ANGEL, because I've been watching it at the gym, because it's a lot better than the alternative watching the middle east bomb the crap out of each other, and I really like it.", or words to that effect. Better a late toaster than never, I guess.
Well, you really can't have too much toast.
OUAT
What does that mean?
Once upon a time. Probably should be OUaT.
he decided the way they dealt with the judge was so stupid vis-a-vis the prophecy for him that he's never given it a chance since
But... I LOVE the rocket launcher! And it's totally sensible vis-a-vis the prophecy, very similar to how he was disabled the first time.
