Ernie's 3D Pancakes

I am sitting in a cowbell

I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice, and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves, so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have.

The Scientist Pieces

The Scientist Pieces [mp3] by ColdSumplay41.

How long before two bands like this play side-by-side on the Grammys, each playing each other's song?

Much better than Nickelbackthing [mp3]. Really. Honest.

Someone should really hack together "Pictures of Matchstick Zombies" by Camper Van Cranberries, or maybe even "Pictures of Cornflake Zombies" by Amos Van Beetberries.

Thank you, but our piano is in another castle.

Meet the Beastles...

...while you still can.

A Hard Day's Theorem

Next on CSI: Pepperland, Professor Jason Brown finds a piano hiding in the Beatles' guitars.

Jason: The important point is that the piano is there because the math says it is.

George: It's all in your mind, you know.
