Costello is just so darn sure he's right, and he explains himself in such a logical manner. I think videos like this (and humor in general) can really "break the ice" with our students.

I'm just trying to win a thumb drive, but I'm glad I stopped to watch this. (Now, what would really be a good thinking question for my students... "what is he doing wrong?" or "what is wrong with his logic?") This was funny. I’m just trying to win a thumb drive, but I’m glad I stopped to watch this.

Their 'personal logic' is so deeply rooted that attempts to teach the real process in my science class result in quizzical "you're nuts!" looks from students. I can only imagine what math teachers might be able to share about it. This video is hilarious…and I’ve seen similar math logic in some of my students.
