Flatland is a two-dimensional universe occupied by living geometric figures – squares, triangles, circles, etc. A Square, Attorney At Law, finds himself in the middle of two upheavals: the rise of martial law by the circular leadership of Flatland, and the arrival of A Sphere, CEO Of Messiah, Incorporated, a creature from a hitherto-unknown third dimensional world.

A must for all who have read the book (but may be a little confusing to start with for those who haven’t).

Got given an advance copy of this CD. Looking forward to seeing them live this weekend – will be a first for me. Have been listening to them for over 17 years now.

Watched it with my mum on Christmas day (not much choice as I bought it for her) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perhaps if it were any other day then it may have been different – it was an easy to watch chick flick.

I really enjoyed watching Splitting Heirs again. I don’t remember this film getting a cinema release (I was a skint student when this was released and couldn’t afford to go to the cinema very often) but found it in a video rental shop about 10 years ago.

It is not rude or crude and the only violence is mild comedic violence. There are British and American actors in this and something from both cultures is combined to make this film funny.

It is a great escapist film (it bears absolutely nothing to do with my real life!) *with the best of English black comedy. *

I prefer the creativity and originality of Origins of Symmetry but this is still a good listen.

This man was dedicated and knew only how to function when he was doing maths. He was kind and caring but had trouble communicating with people on levels other than maths, yet has influenced and touched more modern mathematicians than perhaps any other.

He was publishing actively until he died 10 years ago aged 83 when he was still working 19 hour days on theories and papers. He would encourage other mathematicians and pose puzzles and was never greedy with fame or recognition.

Published mathematicians now have an ERDOS (pronounced air-dish) number which is the degree of separation between their article and the great man himself – a joint paper with Erdos has an Erdos number of 1, a paper with someone who has an Erdos number of 1 but if you haven’t published with Erdos gives you an Erdos number of 2, etc.

He’s that important.
And interesting.

Very highly recommended reading.

This has to be my favourite Talking Heads album. The production is possibly too polished for some (listen to Stop Making Sense instead – a live album featuring many of the same tracks) but I find it near perfect.

I was there.
I have this on vinyl.
What a gig.
Even better to have such a wonderful reminder.

This is for me the best reason to read this book. Am enjoying it so far but am rationing it so I can continue studying for my upcoming exam.

This has to be the best flavour they’ve ever made. I like others but keep coming back to this one.
