By way of PZ, I just found the website of Jonathan Coulton, a musician who seems to specialize in humorous and geeky songs. The music is good; the lyrics are absolutely fantastic.

Just to give you an idea, here's the lyrics for the first verse:

Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
And the Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born

Page has music in it but for me it doesn't play automatically.

Did we know that a wingnut sent white powder in an envelope to Jon Stewart?

Weirdo.

The boys want to see Borat, bad, but I just have no interest. I should have sent them with GF when she went to see it. It really isn't my thing. My 12 & 14 yo boys, their thing.

count me in the having no interest in seeing Borat.

And if someone had some up to me on the street and said stuff about wanting my clothes for sex, I'd probably punch them too. If cameras weren't on him why was he in character. tool.

I've been feeling like the only person in the world who has no interest in seeing it. Every time I see a commercial for it, I want to stick needles in my eyes and run screaming from the room. I don't get it.

I twitched through him on TDS and only for Jon. Unless he was on TCR and then it was only for Stephen. I mostly tried to block the whole memory.

Yeah, I would think that any non-basic-English class that has 'writing' in the title would require basic grammar, punctuation, etc. proficiency.

The most frustrating part is that it wasn't that they weren't capable, it was that they didn't think that it was important. Their attitude was that as long as you understood what they were saying, it was okay.

oh, most certainly. grabs popcorn, sits down next to Cass, watches Helen Mirren in The Queen.

Yeah, I don't do the Borat thing, either. I think it's somewhere on the same comedy continuum as Jackass.

::sits in 'don't want to see Borat ever if possible' corner::

Yeah, I don't do the Borat thing, either. I think it's somewhere on the same comedy continuum as Jackass.

Oh, this hurts.

I also have no real interest in seeing Borat. I don't think my misanthropy needs extra ammunition.
