I just the other day gave my 17 year old daughter the DVD of A Fish Called Wanda as a gift. She's been a Monty Python fan already for a while. I hope she never sees that youtube clip.

I don't know if you are a maths guy, Mr. M., but juggling notation is pretty cool.

I could just cry sometimes.

Siteswap notation has been around for a while now. The younger more geeky jugglers use it a lot. In the early days guys were using it to invent new tricks that people hadn't previously thought of. Many of the new patterns while technically difficult were not very pretty to watch though so you are not likely to see them in performances.
My favourite tricks are mostly ball spinning and balancing which can't be notated so I never really got interested in siteswap.
A lot of computer guys juggle so programs have been made where you can enter a siteswap number and it will demonstrate tricks which are virtually impossible to juggle in real life.
