When I grow up, I want to be a glassblower. A mathematician-glassblower. And Ernie will be a time-traveling geometer. (Is "geometer" a job? Are there non-academic jobs where one simply does geometry all day? Maybe he'll be a member of a time-traveling a cappella group. Any gig, anywhere, any time -- we can make your event truly special! Add dinosaurs for only a small fee!)

Sherlock Holmes rap
I know that, by posting this here, I (potentially) open the floodgates for all the other nerd raps to come pouring through. But this has such high production values (funded by MTV!), and captures several white rap memes so well, that I could not resist.
