It’s a shape that has only one stable equilibrium point which means if you place it down on a flat surface on any other point it’s going to right itself. COOL!

TED has become one of my favorite websites. It’s full of interesting and compelling talks by people from all over the world. In this Video Hans Rosling debunks myths of the Developing world. Some of what he talks about is pretty deep, but his presentation makes difficult concepts easy to see.
Take a little bit of time to watch it and leave me comments.
