The creepy/cool spectrum

[delphipsmith]

Cool: What fire looks like in zero gravity

Cool but makes my head sort of want to explode: Some infinities are bigger than others

Creepy but also still cool: A lyre made out of a human skull

Creepy and really, really not cool: Major fantasy/sf author Marion Zimmer Bradley (Mists of Avalon, etc.) allegedly abused her own daughter for years; see here and here. So disappointed and sad...*

*Edited for clarity, sorry for the ambiguity of original sentence

Second the brain explosion with Infinity. I haven't had to think about that kind of logic since I graduated. I mean, it's an okay tool when working with limits, but if I try to think about the logic behind in any kind of depth my brain short-circuits -- the poor thing... Some problems I leave to people smarter than me :D
