Pharyngula and Ray Bradbury

[Susan Gerbic]

I have no idea where this thread goes, I thought about lit, and current issues, and on and on and finally decided Science. (don't you hate people who go on about where to post things?)

So anyway, my picture is in Pharyngula! I'm so totally swooning. I am comment #112.

Mark Edward is writing a blog about the whole event that will appear on his blog tomorrow at www.skepticblog.com

Apparently that video is NSFW, so I can't watch it now, but did you have something to do with its making?

Nice

No, Mark Edward showed it to Ray Bradbury last week. And I took the picture of him watching it.

 

[The Fallen Serpent]

As this is ultimately about a writer's reaction to a music video about him, I think this thread should fall into the History, Literature and the Arts section of the forums.

The video and song were great. My friends and I got a kick out of it. Much love to the greats of sci fi writing out there, including Mr. Bradbury.

I loved it. And I think Ray Bradbury appreciates becoming a sex symbol, even if at a late point...

That's a work-safe way of rephrasing the title of the video.

Wish there was some text to go along with what Hawking is supposted to be saying, I could not understand at all.

It was hard to get speech that was a) synthetically comprehensible b) that could sort of scan and c) distinguishable over the background.


Do you want to hang out tonite?
We could see a startrek film, or grab a bite

f me not bradbury
His was a brief time in history

I've been your #1 fan
You and I could recreate the big bang
Come on baby don't be scared
I must use up my mc squared

If I could i'd get down on my knee
To demonstrate our relativity
I hope you are using birth control
cause my rocket's aiming at your black hole

f me not bradbury
I'm the star in astronomy

fme not bradbury
He's maxed out all his entropy

f me not bradbury

Oh dear
I think my white dwarf has just gone supernova
Can somebody get me a tissue
