It must have been a glitch masquerading as a black hole.

I'm showing my age again (though it is nice to feel young )
MathMan was a PacMan spoof on PBS's "Square One" TV show.

Ah, 'Square One', truly good edutainment. And believe me, that is rare.
Mathman was fun, but what I really loved was the music videos and the mysteries.

Congradulations! This thread resulted in a rare occurence where I actually find Youtube a welcome internet destination. Could they possibly have old Mathman clips? Of course they do!

I may have to repeat "Mathman" as I walk around the house tonight, just to see if my g/f gets the reference.

I know who that mathed man was, and realized it as I told my faithful steed, Hi, Ho! Fonzie never had it so good.
