Season 3 of the Mighty Boosh did a really awesome parody of avant-garde films.

This sounds more like Dr. Seuss.

Is the singularity near or far?
Is it in that nice red car?
Is the singularity in a house?
Or is it with a small brown mouse?
The singularity ate my ham!
I do not like it, Sam I Am.

The singularity is right now!!!

f(t) = -\dfrac{1}{(t-t_0)^2}

What a useless graph. Log(time) as a function of time

What a useless graph.
I think it is entirely appropriate for this thread. :wink:

How do they know what a "paradigm shift" is?? Isn't it really arbitrary?

Not really, Kurzweil explains what he means by that pretty clearly if you watch any of his talks.
