- compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -2/+42you know you're a complete nerd when you can build one of these
- SmackMyMac, on 10/10/2007, -3/+30I made several decks of playing cards out of mine.
Went through several Red and Black sharpies in the process.
Radioshack Texas Hold'em - Waskonator, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Drinkey drinkey... its only Monday.
- burnstyle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13and to think.... i would have just recycled them
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14indeed. Although she has allowed me to realize something. Even the chicks on digg aren't getting laid.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I wonder if it opens a gateway to hell
- imac12, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Seriously, the phrase "... after the jump!" is so overused and is getting quite freaking annoying.
- mikesay98, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10More often than you, I'm sure.
- BobTurtle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Typical anti-cubist.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Different a museum indeed.
- JD52, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6An infinitely porous object. Always been fascinated by them.

Rendering of a Menger Sponge on the cover. Must read for anyone ever slightly curious about the concept of the infinite. (Had my first copy when I was 12) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+14If they are different a museum.
- wicked6, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4What does that mean...on any level?
- mikaelc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Level three Menger sponges are for kids. This guy is building a level four sponge (which has twenty times as many cubes):

- ArandiaT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wouldn't it be easier to say your second cousin?? or your mom's cousin, even?
- quik22, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5nope, that was me. i jizzed in your mouth.
- JudgeMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5So, tell me. What is your contribution?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's like, harsh, man.
- quik22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2fail.
- burak1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm leaving my job in 10 days so I won't be needing my business cards anymore, plus I'm not exactly too fussed about looking busy.
My desk is now covered in a herd of small cubes. This is sooooo addictive! - BobTurtle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2...Says the guy that claimed, in a comment to an earlier story on Digg, to buy watermelons for the sole purpose of cutting small holes in them and then proceeded to ***** those holes. Hey, I guess melon rape is respectable in your world. How will she sleep at night knowing a melon-***** thinks she has no life?
- flashback99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3dude, lets leave the bodacious 90s where we left it.
- hokeypokey, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4wow it's the Borg!
- smaJ, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3who the hell has 66,000 business cards printed at a time anyway??
- anonatron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Finally I won't be lying when I tell consultants that I am not just going to throw away their business card!
- unleashedlive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4ewwwwww. I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth.
- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's not impressive until he actually finishes it. It'll weigh a HUGE amount. Right now he doesn't have anything more than a level 3.
- kxhoopshooter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1wtf mental floss magazine?
- JD52, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge
Wiki Entry on the same. - tom6a, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3What to do with 2,000 credit cards?
http://prosperlending.blogspot.com/2007/07/man-receives-2000-credit-cards.html - mikewhite314, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1joining cubes?
- hiPpymIck, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3good to see a successful collaboration
FTA
"Figuring the whole project required about 600 hours to build, she recruited volunteers from around the country to build parts of it and then ship them to her." - oepapel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Why 66000?
6 cards are needed for each cube.
20 cubes are needed for a level-1 menger cube
20 level-1 cubes are needed for a level-2 cube
20 level-2 cubes are needed for a level-3 cube
That makes 48,000 by my count... - wicked6, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yes, I see it now. There should be a comma after "different".
- subliminalurge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Go play in traffic.
- russelbutt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1and she looks exactly like the type of person i imagined would build something like this..
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1LOL, this is the kind of thing that makes one question it's inner nerd........
- oepapel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1join cubes already taken into account
- Captj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"I just have 3 questions...1.) why do you hate me when I show you nothing but love; 2.) who's gonna tell my mom; and WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH 10,000 JOHN DORIAN CHIEF RESIDENT BUSINESS CARDS!?"
- muffinmanpoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It took a while. but I think I've deciphered this comment. What he's saying, I believe, is that if you had 66,000 *different* business cards, ie a collection, then you could start a business card museum.
An entirely silly idea, by the way. - bubbadigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0In our next segment... What if you were a nerd, and nobody cared....
- bubbadigg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Ah, but you are only seeing this in 3-dimensions.... you need the extra for the 4th dimension.
- faz85, on 11/17/2008, -0/+0it is vital to have business cards even when you do online business...
http://www.order-businesscards-online.blogspot.com - plagiats, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"What to do with 66,000 business cards ?" Money of course !
- mz00m, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I believe the technical term is a gaggle of cubes...
- archlich, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2boo! hehe
- zip000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You know, I actually thought Cube 1 was almost good - it has some really good ideas and other stuff, but I think it ended up rather mediocre...I can't image the sequels being at all good.
