Napoleon's Theorem

So I was complaining to a friend about having to blog about math, and he pulled out a notebook and explained a surprisingly interesting phenomenon called Napoleon's Theorem. He drew 3 different triangles connected at the corners and found the centers of each. The triangle made from these 3 points was an equilateral triangle. Apparently this works with any 3 triangles, which is very cool.
