O/T - Looking for Frink's 3D Explaination

[McRae]

There was an episode of the Simpsons where Frink explains to the audience the third dimension, I haven't had success in looking thru google and finding an active link to it. Would some one be kind enough to send it along to me as I would like to use it in a presentation next week...

 

Our CAD designers are all 2D guys and I want to use this to illustrate a whole new universe!

I don't know, but I'm sure it went something like "blah blah glavin blah blah"

THAT sent me on a wild goose chase! But I'm happy to help... Simpson's Rule!

Andrew, Draw 2 parts, one 2D, the other 3D. (Same part)

 

Now show the difference when looking at the front of each of the parts.. a straight line (2d) or an actual part (3d)

P.S. Scroll to the end of the previous link for the quotes...or just read on.

 

Dr. Frink:

 

quote:

---

Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted

individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic

topology, n'gee, that Homer Simpson has stumbled into...[the lights go off] the third dimension.

 

Here is an ordinary square -- -- but suppose we exte-end the square beyond the two dimensions of our universe (along the hypothetical Z axis, there). This forms a three-dimensional object known as a "cube", or "Frinkahedron" in honor of its discoverer, n'hey, n'hey.

 

And, of course, within, we find the doomed

individual.

CMR,

 

Thanks, the text is great but what I am hoping for is the video to this. I have the wav file from a pal of mine but I need the video for full effect. The wav is on the ftp site now under the jpg folder.

You know, Andrew, I really think that the Frinkazoid might be a good avatar for you...

 

 

By the way; how're you making out with the Nitronic?

Manufacturing schedule is in constant flux, likely to be done in the next few days or maybe even next week when I am out of plant. I'm off to the home office in Dallas, should be fun. I plan to use small words and talk slow so the Texans can keep up...

I hope I didn't get your back up...

 

Texas is my second favorite spot to visit - Home being the first... I had a customer from Texas and we had an excellent raport - his comment was, never assume that someone isn't carrying a gun - most people are armed!

 

I come from a place where carrying a stick over

7-3/4" long is a criminal offence...

 

Anyway, back on target - anyone have this file available? There is an educational spot that has it but I don't have the password.

 

Thanks
