The pictures are great. As a math person, the knot theory analogy wore pretty thin pretty quickly, though... very little of knot theory is devoted to "ooh! look! a knot!" Now if you were to deform the tunnels to demonstrate topological equivalence, *that* would be knot theory.

I just like the way he replaced Mancunian Drain photos with pics of Sydney and Toronto tunnels...

Oh, I'm sure. Tunnels don't actually go in knots, so it's an entirely specious analogy in both directions.
