Hi All,

Just heard that Bill Nye (Yes, The Science Guy) is coming downunder on a tour February-March 2015.

(Irony. On the same page, the same company is promoting an 'Evening with James Randi' wacko.gif )

Actually, James Randi ("The Amazing Randi") is said to be excellent. He's a noted debunker.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

He got a bad reputation on this side of the pond after a particularly bad TV interview decades ago.
I know his reputation, but it was his ill-chosen words with the presenter on their show that hurt him here.

I'm looking forward to hearing one of Bill's talk live! biggrin.gif

Are you talking about that Carlos hoax, Astro? I just read about that in Sagan's book. That sure was a while ago. Australians never forget!
