Hi - which FPlus live had Kumquatxop reading Blow Up the Moon and who was that piece originally by?

It’s by Alexander Abian on Usenet, and was read at F Plus Live 6

Do you know if there's an archived copy of the essay? Google is being worse than useless. (It starts at 49:30)

And also makes me wonder if this is the most readily available copy of it. Kumquat screaming the work of this apparently brilliant mathematician interspersed with people yelling fuck the moon.

Oh and for Usenet archive the earliest posts even mentioning him (for the blow up the moon thing) are from 1991. This essay was earlier.

Here you go. I think it was something that he had mentioned in the past but only properly crystallized later, because I can see references to it from earlier, but this is the oldest extended writing on the topic I can find.

As an almost-mathematician, I can say frankly that being a great mathematician and being bugfuck insane are not contradictory, and might even be correlated.

Yeah. He seems like a gem though I wouldn't ever want to be around him. He also thought we should pull Venus far enough away from the sun so it would develop the same climate as the Earth. Among a lot of other things.

I just finished House of Leaves, and my first thought was “I need to re-listen to all the F-Plus episodes that mention it so I can get the references.”

Does anyone know exactly which ones those are?

I know this doesn't even scratch the surface, but I think there was one in the wrestling wiki episode.
