Man, I love this stuff. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't it seem like RIchard Dawkins could read the phone book and make it sound intelligent?

To me looks and sounds like a grown-up Harry Potter.
I had the chance to see him speak last year at UT. The place was packed.

Is Derren Brown fairly well known in the US? He is really amazing.

If Dawkins read the phone book, I would buy the tape. He makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Quote from: "curiosityandthecat"doesn't it seem like RIchard Dawkins could read the phone book and make it sound intelligent?He did that for me once, actually. Fantastically large cast of characters, but woefully short on plot!
