Haven't had much time for math or blogging lately so will just re-post a link to an old fun favorite, lest any have never seen it... George Boolos' "Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem Explained in Words of One Syllable":

Someone emailed me asking why only one page is shown though at bottom there is indication of 3 total pages for the piece. Long ago I saw the entire article somewhere, and my vague recollection is that the other 2 pages are simply a step-by-step explanation of the initial page, which is the key page. (If anyone wants to clarify further about the other 2 pages feel free to do so).
