(The last question at the end, and the response, are a riot IMO.)

From there you can read the paper if you like:
http://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

(At least two of those references are to real papers, apparently.)

And if you decide that you want to know more about the person responsible, you then find this:
http://isotropic.org/

which has links to code for generating Celtic knotwork and models for Archimedian polyhedra.

Of course.

The noosphere is a wonderful place sometimes, really.

I loved the fact that he had a supplementary slide prepared for the question at the end.

I was recently at a talk where the speaker said something like:

"That is a brilliant question. 'Brilliant,' by the way, I am using in the technical sense. A 'good' question is one that I have thought about. An 'excellent' question is one to which I know the answer, and a 'brilliant' question is one for which I have a slide prepared. Brilliant question."
