So while I am sat on the sofa, my wife is watching mathematics videos from http://mrbartonmaths.com/youtube.htm. There are some rather amusing and clever videos so have a look when you get a chance.
Particularly clever are The Mathematics Love Song which attempts to explain love using group theory (which I vaguely remember from my degree)
Amazing Maths trick that proves 1=2 is one I have seen many times before
(in case you wondered, the proof fails because it is invalid to divide by 0 [strictly speaking you get an undefined result], so the proof must have an initial restriciton of a != b at the beginning to be valid (and therefore does not prove 1=2))
James Blunt also sings his Triangle song for Sesame Street, which is rather odd to listen to.
Mathematical Pie is rather interesting too (yes, it is a mathematical cover of American Pie)
Of course you shouldn’t miss the Abbott and Costello maths which is phoenomenal
When you are bored and have some time, see what Stormtroopers get up to in their free time

Fantastic photos – makes me wish I had some stormtrooper action figures to try the same with

The following picture on icanhascheezburger and it really reminded my of my parents’ cat (both the picture, as they have a Siamese, as well as the caption)

I stumbled across a quote from Douglas Adams on Australians which I thought was amusing, and probably very accurate:
As a result of all this hardship, dirt, thirst, and wombats, you would expect Australians to be a dour lot. Instead, they are genial, jolly, cheerful, and always willing to share a kind word with a stranger, unless they are an American. Douglas Adams – English
