Is doing a week long (their week is only four days, Monday-Thursday) set of shows on the evolution vs ID "debate".

First one was hilarious.

I agree that was great. Ed Helms tour through Dayton, Tennessee was a riot. I liked his final line in the piece "if these people weren't all just actors it would be fu(bleep)ing terrifying".

This is offtopic and does not matter one way or the other but I thought that you were a man, Beskeptigal. That is until you said the monkey was 'adorable' - this is a word that a man would never use. Although I have to admitt the monkey was, you know, that word you used...

Wednesday night's episode had a panel of guests, ID was represented by Dembski.
Overall it wasn't as funny as the first two. Hoping the concluding episode tonight will be good.

| I was away on business all week (and the hotel doesn't get Comedy Central!), but TiVoed all four shows and watched 'em tonight with the wife. They started strong, but ended weak. Stewart himself summed it up well when he said that he'd discovered that a whole week was too much time to spend on it. |

I thought it was great when they had the '3rd opinion' on the panel.
Re the gal stuff.... I started out as 'Beskeptical' wanting to convince everyone to be skeptical and all. Someone suggested Beskeptigal when everyone assumed I was a guy. My newer name for forums since this one is skeptigirl. I've given up telling folks what to do and gone for the mellower, I am a skeptical girl. Hey, I like how that sounds! I'm not the usual material girl though I have a huge collection now of 'neat stuff', (they just aren't clothes, jewelry and the like), so I can't say I'm not a material girl. But I digress.
On the one hand it's a compliment that folks think I'm a guy and on the other hand it's a shame one makes such assumptions in the forums I frequent. There are lots of women with a preference for the sciences and intelligent conversation, you know. We aren't all Suzie Homemakers and soccer moms. Though I do admit, I myself have made the same incorrect assumptions about other women in the forums.
Well, back to the topic, sorry for the distraction. |

Whoa, whoa, that had noting to do with my incorrect assumption. My wife is an engineer like me only she's alot smarter than me, so I would not even lean in that direction. I just thought it was sort of funny how you know so little about a person in a forum just from their writing. It is sort of like when you see a radio dj that you have listened to for years - they never look the way you picture them in your head, at least not for me.

I didn't mean to imply you consciously thought women were not intelligent or whatever. It is an unconscious prejudice we show when making those assumptions about folks on forums. Hey, I said I have done it myself. And I certainly know there are many intelligent women out there.
I know what you mean about the folks we hear a voice from and see a picture in our minds before meeting them. |
