Feynman – Pleasure of Finding Things Out!

I am a huge fan of Richard Feynman. The QED God also happened to be a great educator, motivating many people with his books and interviews! I have uploaded a 50 minute vdo of his to Google and he talks about the sense of pleasure one attains when he or she figures out how a certain thing works. I think I don’t have to say more about the man, since most of you folks would be familiar with him! I will let his video do all the talking! The video is titled, “Pleasure of finding things out”, and was broadcast on BBC TV as part of their Horizon series. Here is the link to the original production company where you can also find info about other documentaries and order the DVD’s.

Man from Earth 2007

Have you folks watched Man From Earth already? If not, I would suggest you guys check it out! This indie film is prolly one of the best this year. Goes on to prove that Sci-Fi does not need effects all the time to be compelling. Though there a few shortfalls, this movie was great! I liked it a lot! the best thing is you can download it from any torrent site! Actually the producer thanked the people who downloaded his film making it famous and providing free publicity! Take that MPAA! Many people have given favorable reviews for this movie that it enjoys a 8.1 rating at imdb!

Visit the official website for more info about the novel by Late Jerome Bixby, and the film!

More CNN Lunacy!

Th following segment was aired in Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN a couple of days back. I like AC in general, because he is a serious journalist compared to most of the hacks that are in news these days, like the dumb ass woman in the last vdo! He got James Fox back on alrite, and Fox was talkin about the NPC event and then it turns out that Fox was brought on to debate the fat ass clown James Mcgaha! This guy is a text book example for how a skeptic is not supposed to be! He has no curiosity whatsoever and he claims that all people who claim to see UFO’s are hallucinating and he is the best authority in explaining UFO cases! Load of BS! I am gonna post a few edited vdos of this dumbo in the next few days, where he explains away most of the credible UFO sightings as just nothin more than stars, light house flash, re entering satellites, flares, blah blah blah! What perplexes me the most is that he has never investigated a single case first hand, and yet he thinks he knows better! Don’t they teach objectivity in those skeptic meetings? What an ass!
