    Another book I can warmly recommend:

    The demon-haunted world: science as a candle in the dark.
    Carl Sagan

    Should be a mandatory part of every high-school curriculum if I had a say in anything. A very entertaining and informative read.

    No! Carl Sagan wore tan trousers, cardies with leather elbow patches and had huge sidies. He's not a desirable role model!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    He also caused public outcry by being a widely recognised and respected astro-physicist who admitted to smoking weed on a regular basis, thus debunking the established propaganda.

    As for his fashion sense - I wouldn't have picked you as being too concerned with such matters

    Now just read the book Jim, I promise you will enjoy it. If not I'll be happy to send you a bottle of PTSD-medicine as an apology for wasting your time.

    *sigh* exactly James, expansive sidies and science-teacher stylez do not exclude one from role model status...

    This is ridiculous. You can't just say no it doesn't.

    Sorry, is that a new book tittle or just a fetish that's on the wrong thread?
