I know this is like a zillion years old, but it just came up on "THAT MITCHELL AND WEBB LOOK" (TV show on ABC)

Nuemberwang!

For people who don't speak basic german, the original, Numberwang.

May only really appeal to maths majors with a partial understanding of german(*) :) (Also it was just so surreal in the middle of an english show)

In similar "made just for me" news, I'm reading "The Atrocity Archives" by Charles Stross, about a civil servant who uses their knowledge of computational mathematics to save the world from lovecraftian horrors. (Not quite as good as I might have liked, so far, but still fun)

(*)I have a feeling the german would be painful to anyone who spoke it properly

I have so much love for Numberwang. German Numberwang beats all!

The Charles Stross books are a lot of fun. I quite liked that one and Jennifer Morgue (the sequel - I think that's what it was called).

I have quite a number of them, if you'd like to borrow them. I bought them when travelling.
