Strung Up
Why is the violin so hard to play? That’s the name of the linked article which was posted on my absolute favorite method of entertainment while waiting for DNA to break in the optics lab, reddit.com. The article has maths in it, which may or may not be appealing to you. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty entertaining and/or interesting. A much huger source of distraction value, however, can be found in the comments:
“Are you joking? Are you really comparing the skill required to play an electric guitar (a $1000 toy) with the violin?”

Mostly unrelated, except that it was another violin-type post on reddit and hence I feel oddly and extravagantly compelled to stick it up here, was this violin/deck combo piece:
It’s fairly awesome. Watch out kids, we’re lulling you in with violins.
