Too funny!

He actually seems like a sweet guy, but one expects him to pull out a banjo at any moment.

Disappointment at lack of banjos aside, I particuluarly loved his use of charts and schematics and his imaginative use of colour-coordinated props. Someone ought to tell him that ID's ridiculous argument from analogy relies upon unfounded comparisons between biological complexity and designed complexity (in materials that, unlike the chemicals of life, lack the capacity for self-replication).



Unfortunately, I was laughing so hard that I missed much of what he said. OminousVoice is, imo, hilarious, but this kid has him beat. The difference is that OminousVoice is consciously amusing.

I thought that the video above was the funniest, but the video below greatly tickled my beloved's fancy. It's a journey into pathos as he says goodbye to one of his props.

Niles' influence?

Perhaps because of David Hyde Pierce's influence, perhaps because the show was unusually sophisticated for an American comedy:

Alice in Everwonder Land

I cannot imagine how 'Alice' did butter in what appears to be a single take:



I like the British attitude to religion – tolerantly amused.

Beyond Washoe – meet Gerald

Washoe was a chimpanzee who learned 151 communication signs. Gerald the gorilla seems to have achieved somewhat more:

I don't know . . .

A friend sent me a link to this. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry:



I must confess that I could only guess two of the nations in Bush's "Axis of Evil", but then I have never paid attention to anything that Giorgio has said.

I sincerely hope that they edited out the majority of responses from people who could actually answer the questions.

At least the following looks pretty while she . . . er . . . 'answers' a question.
