| Tesseract was also the name of a good electronic music show on KPFK in
Los Angeles from about 1970 to about 1976, hosted by Phil Mendelssohn. His
show and mine on KCSN had similar content.
Another good title on KPFK was Zymurgy, a music show with David Cloud.
Zymurgy is the art of making wine.

280.3 | I knew Tesseract well | MLCSSE::MILLER | | Sat Nov 28 1987 23:03 | 10 |
| Tesseract was my next door neighbor when I was living in N.Y.C.
He was crazy and would often throw hypercubes against the walls
at 3 a.m. and wake me up. One day the cops came and when they tried
to restrain him, he accidentally knocked a candle over and set the
apartment building on fire. When the fire department came and tried
to put the fire out, they discovered that the water hydrant was
not working. That is because the water and sewer department was
on strike. The strike was settled the following week and the sewer
workers received a 10% raise.

| On a hot steamy NYC day, what did Tesseract put in his glass of tea?
Ice tesseracts, of course.
If such an object really did exist, how would it work compared to
say 8 ice cubes?

280.5 | Where is Dirac when you need him? | MLCSSE::MILLER | | Mon Nov 30 1987 21:30 | 16 |
| Question 1
If I put ice hyper-icecubes into a glass of tea, do I have to be
in hyperspace in order to drink it?
Question 2
If I put hyper-icecubes into a glass of tea in hyperspace, do I
have to be in hyperspace in order to drink it?
Question 3
If I am determining the answer to these questions in normal space
during working hours does DEC have the right to dock my wages
in normal space?
