Browsing through the daily news sources, I came across this interesting inequality, discovered by Jeff Tupper:
Formula
Well, what's so good about it? After all, it's just an inequality, right? It's not just any inequality though. Try plotting it. More specifically, Let k be the following number:

Then plot the inequality over the set of points with x varying from 0 <= x <= 106 and k <= y <= k+17
Here's the result (do prepare to have your mind blown):

Sure looks like the actual inequality, doesn't it? If you don't believe me, you can try it out yourself. (it doesn't seem to work in Chrome, though)
