I left this already somewhere else in the forum, but since it's a personal dedication to Benoit Mandelbrot I'll add it to this topic.

Thanks bib, I have never seen it before. It surely must be one of its oldest aprearances on TV.
I think, on this sad occasion, it is a good to listen to his best conferences again.

So here are some other videos of Mandelbrot conferences:
- The famous TED conference in 2010 : http://www.ted.com/talks/benoit_mandelbrot_fractals_the_art_of_roughness.html
- In MIT World in 2001 : http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/52
- His Big Think Interview in 2010 : http://bigthink.com/ideas/19207 (thanks to Nahee for the link)
- His public conference for Pariscences 2009 : http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/33363506 (in french)

I also saw a really funny one for the IgNobel prize ceremony . But I can't find it.
