Best thing i ever read, here or anywhere else, about reason:
"If it wasn't for the Enlightenment, you wouldn't be reading this right now. You'd be standing in a smock throwing turnips at a witch."
Brilliantly unforgettable! But shouldn't it be "If it WERE not..."? Just asking :-o

2. The Gullible Age: Review of 'The Enemies of Reason'

Hope i don't sound too smug, but to you all friends who are waiting for the programme to show up locally in your foreign country, have you ever heard of Bit Torrent, or UK nova (though Uk nova may not accept more members at this time, for reasons of too much success)? Gee! i live in Japan, and i can get the day after broadcast most of UK TV programmes, meaning everyone can too, wherever you are. It's like you're sleeping on the internet treasure, and do not know how to use it. Remember, we're atheists, we're supposed to be bright! (Or at least, brighter...)

3. Interview with Dan Dennett on Danish TV

To scooternyc,

There are many ways you can download YouTube videos. The one i use the most often is by going to
http://keepvid.com/

Other people will certainly have their own favourite. All i can say is that this one works great for me. The downloaded video is in a proprietary file format, and i use iSquint (free, google it!) to convert it and place it automatically in iTunes if i so wish. Sorry i know absolutely nothing about Windows, but that should give you an idea of the process involved.
