roxa:
This whole thing is so fucking brilliant and amazing that I almost cried.
Holy fuck, you guys. Machete Order actually does the impossible: it makes me want to watch the prequels. Or at least two of ‘em.
An interesting discussion of how to rearrange the Star Wars movies to make a more effective narrative. This has now been tested on genuine Star Wars virgins and...

travisestrella:
The Tau Manifesto is dedicated to one of the most important numbers in mathematics, perhaps themost important: the circle constant relating the circumference of a circle to its linear dimension.
