A Universe From Nothing

Laurence Krauss is my new hero.

Explains curvature of space and higher-dimensonal geometry exactly the way I explain it in the pub - with triangles on spheres. Also touches on Hilbert's Hotel, a brilliant insight into the concept of infinity. Recommended watch. MAKE yourself an hour of free time so you can watch this. Seriously.

Can *you* think of anything worse than washing sieves?

 

Lock Up Your Mountain Bikes, by the incomparable Half Man Half Biscuit.

Bonus lyrics and chords. The "E" is the high 'E' barred on the seventh fret, and the G is barred at 3 I'm using a capo at 2 in the video to make the B7 braindead easy to play for a big-fingered bass player like myself. 

[correction 12/11/09 - I messed up writing out the chords. thanks to steven in the comments thread]

E
There is surely nothing worse than washing sieves
B7
There is surely nothing worse than washing sieves
E
With the possible exception
A Am
Of being Garth Crooks
E B7 E
There is surely nothing worse than washing sieves

Do you switch the kitchen light off with your chin?
Do you switch the kitchen light off with your chin?
When you’re holding tea and toast
And there’s no-one else about
Do you switch the kitchen light off with your chin?
When you’re down beside the lake you’re bound to hear
When you’re down beside the lake you’re bound to hear
When you’re down beside the lake you’re bound to hear somebody say:
“Careful now, that swan can break your arm”

E
Oh before the gods that made the gods were born
B7
Yes before the gods that made the gods were born
E
Yes before the gods that made the gods
A Am
Woke up and made the gods
E B7
That’s when you got into
E A
That’s when you got into
E B7
Yeah that’s when you first got into the Manics
E B7
