    Sweetness. Very cool skill and expertly executed.

    Looking though the comments on the page there is a link (http://rudy.ca/doomsday.html) that explains how day of the week thing works.

    Still, very nicely done and wonderfully entertaining.

    I'd hope that was interesting, but I suspect that it was a lot more mundane academia than his stage show?

    Good video, fun stuff.
