Who knew Microsoft Excel could be so cool?

Working with research as often as I do, I see a lot of numbers and have become very comfortable with Microsoft Excel. I doubt there's more than a handful of people at work who even know what a Macro is (and they all work in accounting). And as I try to find new ways to push the limits of Excel with insanely complicated formulas and massive spreadsheets, I never knew Excel could be so cool.

Check out the video below, which shows how AC/DC made their latest music video by combining old school ASCII-style art with a stat geeky spreadsheet, which can actually be downloaded an an Excel file from the band's website.

Since when did rock bands turn in their jeans and guitars for pocket protectors?
