While in Las Vegas last week, I caught the Blue Man Group show at the Venetian. If you like percussion music, quasi-scatological humor, and some truly unique blending of art and technology, it's a show you won't want to miss. Here's a quick trip into the human brain:

You have to play it loud to start to get the idea, but even that won't get you very close. Imagine the music pulsing through you, and the lights and images overwhelming your entire field of vision. The experience is hard to describe.

Overall, I was impressed by the amount of science content that made its way into the show. And I was intrigued by the Blue Man characters. What are they? Robots? Aliens? Some kind of posthuman genetic offshoot? We are free to speculate.

Parts of the show actually kind of reminded me of this. And that's high praise.
