Right-Brained Math (Don't Try This At Home)

Sort laundry
Mop floor
Buy groceries
Pay bills
Chin up
Chest out
Shoulders back
What a drag.
Before I began, I had to waste some time thinking about beginning, of course. I placated the left by involving math...
"...If this train of thought leaves the station carrying two loads of laundry, at what speed would it have to travel in order to Swiffer the kitchen once before it arrives?"
Commander Left-Brain is loses patience.
So I check something off the list. And try to maintain analytical focus.
"... What is the ratio of fresh fruit on my grocery list to the number of days we have to eat it before it spoils? What happens if I multiply that by Pi. What IS Pi, anyway? Mmmm.... pie. Where's my list?"
Poked again by the left.
Sigh. I sort some clothes.
"....if a2 = b2 + c2 , then what is the cosine of this pyramid of whites? How did the Egyptians build those things, anyway? Someday I'd like to see them in person..."
See, part of the problem is that it's hard for a right-brainer to find a practical application for math other than counting money, or more likely, subtracting it from a balance. I told my left brain to get over itself for a few minutes, while I took a break at the computer. That's when I saw this video.
Are you kidding me? That's nothing but math, baby. Right-brained math, because it takes some kind of creative fantasy to dream this stunt up. Kids, please don't try this at home... until you've mastered geometry, trig, physics, and can calculate the statistical probability of breaking your neck:

I heard this video was faked as a marketing stunt for microsoft. I keep watching it... don't know how they did it.
