    mathematiciens finish Escher drawing...

    Dutch mathematiciens have finished a drawing by Escher. During the making of this drawing, M.C. Escher stumbled on a math-problem he couldn't solve, leaving a small portion (the center) of the drawing blank.
    Now, the drawing has been completed:

    (it might even become my new favorite Escher drawing !)

              if it weren't mathematical, I'd say there were some good drugs around at the time!
              Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!
