Mathmagic!

This probably tells more about me than I should reveal, but when I was a kid, I loved this shit:

Yes, even though I think The Rat is evil.

You know, as I watch these, I think about all the ways that this video would be too offensive today: pro-science, anti "antiquated thinking," pro-Europe, naked butts... but you know, it ends on God.

The pentagram/golden rectangle stuff is kind of neat.

Yeah, I thought so too. What really impressed me about this, is the way that it really validates the Western Canon (in an albeit DWM kind of way) that is still pro-science, pro-art etc that doesn't find that contradictory with US culture (including religion). Take the pentagram thing you mention... I could just see that being singled out today.
