Completely off-topic, but I just ran across a couple of rather nifty science/math-related sites. The first is the LHC Portal (http://www.lhcportal.com/) - it's back in operation, and busily colliding, and there's a whole bunch of information there. The other is a 3-D Mandelbrot Set (http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html) - the math is quite beyond me, but it's very pretty.
