Hi Guys,

In the last few weeks there were at least three appearances of the cube on the tube.

On "Numb3rs" last night there was a cube sitting on a desk at the university.

On "Mystery Woman," while waiting in a friend's office Kellie Martin picks up a cube and gives a few turns.

A friend of mine told me of a "Sienfeld" where George swears off sex for a while and his brain starts working. At Jerry's he picks up a scrambled cube, and makes random turns. While he is playing with it, the cube is momentarily out of sight below the kitchen counter and when it reappears it's solved.

Cheers,

David J

Apparantly it was on the season finale of "My Name is Earl", but I missed it because I messed up my cabling.

Junior Asperagus of VeggieTales also has a cube in his room in the "Slobfather" book.

sorry, entered it twice

my sister was watching a nickelodeon movie and they were doing nerd makeovers in it. And while the people were fixing the guys hair, he was turning a cube. The people then proceeded to chuck the cube out of sight saying its "way to nerdy." youd think theyd have a little more sense than that.

there was a clip in the movie Hellboy where that creature who was helping Hellboy was playing with a cube in his watertank. he was supposed to be this really smart being, but couldn't figure out how to solve a cube. he's been working on it for like 10 or so years and could only get two sides

I watched Zathura several times, and I never did see the supposed Square-1 that was supposed to be in that movie. I did see two of them auctioned off online though. I tried to win them. They sold for about $40 each. Maybe that part was pulled from the movie.

anyone go to CollegeHumor.com?

Today's hotlinks: The one-handed Rubik's Cube


It's an old video, but wow, Rubik's on CollegeHumor!

i watched wedding singer the other day and the one girl was playing with a cube and she said "no one is every going to solve this thing!" and she threw it. lol pretty funny

I saw a cube in Armageddon today in AP Chemistry!

On the Food Network show "Good Eats," they keep a Rubik's Cube on one of the shelfs and on at least one episode the show's host Alton Brown can be seen twisting it up.

Completely agree with you on that....I watch it every weeknight at 7 pm and 11 pm PST
And I thought I was a dork for loving that show

lol i know alot of ppl that watch the food network pretty much all my friends watch it

Last night on the new season of Last Comic Standing there was a mention of the cube in one of the acts.
It was along the lines of:

Here's my impression of someone who's colorblind solving a Rubik's Cube
*looks at an imaginary cube in his hand
*Raises it in triumph

Wasn't the one in Numb3rs a Professor's Cube? I'm pretty sure that was the first time I saw a 5x5. I had just started learning the 3x3 at the time.

Being colorblind myself I thought it was hilarious when he did that

Here's a rare bit that not many will see. There's an animated TV show airing in Japan called "Blood+" and in the most recent episodes the opening theme starts with a brief closeup of a set of hands turning a rubik's cube.

some guy came and solved one on the tonight show in 18.5 seconds.

who could it be?

his name is stevie starr

Just saw a blink-&-you'll miss-it shot of a (scrambled) cube on CSI Miami!
