Physics/Maths would be great if all physics/math teachers looked like that Suz ;-)

AND,
if you wear a harness like this, you will get a lot more attention- guaranteed.
We are talking about none other than the famous Brian Cox of course.
Jason, let your passion drive you.
You wouldn't be in it for the money, but for the love of it, and knowing you have made very real contributions to science. And.. you may become famous!

Ah yes Brian jetting around the world living off the comforts of making documentaries without the slightest care in the world regarding his profession.
Compare this to the reaction of the cosmologist below to data suggesting the Universe is accelerating.
Its clearly him .. there's all this chemistry stuff in the background … (just like in his old Avatar).
Cheers
Is that really you Steven??????
Uh-oh, de-ja-vue comes to mind

Since you are a collector of books you will find me a picture of me in
The Night Sky Observer's Guide.
Volume 3.
The Southern Skies.
The publishers of "The Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies" didn't like any of the pictures I submitted of myself so I am an anonymous contributor to that book.
Perhaps it's because I've been told I bear an uncanny resemblance to that serial killer on TV Dexter.
Nope .. sorry Steven … we need proof that's not you !!
I asserted the hypothesis ...which was supported with evidence … the character fits the words .. we have mainstream consensus …. we need falsification before changing our minds !
(Just kidding !!)
I love the description of the movie ..
Quote:
Director Dwain Esper was a talent in the pioneering days of sound films who knew the quickest way to an audience's heart: mindless and morally objectionable drivel pumped through their popcorn-greased veins. Good taste be damned! Morals? Bah! Dirty, cheap entertainment? More of that please! You know what kind of film you're in for when you witness a scene of young women parading around a bedroom in nothing but their lingerie. Masterpiece Theater this is not. These are qualities that make Maniac a melting pot of depraved delights.
Ahhhh .. the good ol' days of moviedom !
Cheers
PS: Apologies for diverging from the OP !

It's all part of a balanced discussion Craig.
If Suzy and Co. can describe their sordid fantasies about Brain Cox, a discussion of women parading in their lingerie is in order.
If Suzy and Co. can describe their sordid fantasies about Brain Cox, …
Now that IS hilarious !
Having seen Brian in his harness next to the helicopter, raises the question of whether he'd be capable of drinking his bodily fluids in a survival situation ?
I'd suggest he'd have a massive conflict of interest with that one … and he'd probably opt for death !

Whereas, when Bear Grylls is involved, even if it's a fine day and there's a freshwater stream readily accessible, he'll drink his own wee first. What a guy.
That's more like the Craig I know. I laugh even tho it's at Brian's expense.

I don't have that book yet (it's on my get next list)!
I then went googling you to see if there was a pic, but nuffink.
Who's got this book that can show me the pic??
What was your contributions in this book, Steven? What an honor that must have been! Wow!
I think I need to know more about you...

His BAD BAD BAD man.
I watched an episode of his a little while back for the first time. I had no idea who this man was. There he is camping in the bush. Yes, lovely scenery. Awwww look, beautiful Skunk. He approaches said skunk. I think, what a nice man, he is going to take some lovely photos of pretty skunk. There's a big smile on my face. All of a sudden, he kills it with his bare hands I can't recall how, I don't want to recall how- I have removed it from my memory bank, and then he ate it. Scarred me for life. He's a very BAD man as I say that waiving my index finger side to side.
I stopped watching all animal docos on Nat.Geo years ago because of animals killing each other (yes yes I know they have to eat and all that ) but used to upset me too much and I thought I was safe watching what I thought looked like a beautiful doco.

Hello Suzy,
You will have get the book. (I'm on page 389.)
The book has about 20 of my images published. Since I generally image objects that are off the beaten the track, the authors were interested in the more obscure southern objects.
Other IIS members were involved such as Mike Sidonio.
Aww c'mon Suzy … that was mean-spirited, vicious, rabies-carrying skunk and it was either Bear or that skunk !
Tell ya .. its hell out there … its either them … or us !
Survival of the fittest !
Cheers
