News of the Day...

From an article in the online Seed Magazine, on "why the answer to life, the universe and the third moment of the Riemann zeta function should be 42."

And just so you're clear, the answer you get when you do a Google search on "what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" is, of course, 42.

The other thing I liked today was the Helmet Megaphone for sale at eBay. (Sold for over $1500!) I had a laughing fit just imagining wearing it on the bus, or in a fast food lineup, or wandering around my office... What I really want to know is: "Is it iPod ready?" Digital line in, here we come.
