Larry Niven got there first: Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex LOL that was a much more thorough contemplation of the situation. Figures a famous author in the field would have covered this subject. But he screwed up when he used Gold Kryptonite for one part of the process and then forgot about it during the gestation process, instead falling back to Green Kryptonite in a delicate balanced treading of life & death. Dude - Gold, go for the Gold!!! - xongsmith, 5.7d

This post is inspired by Hyro, and any other pro-lifer on this site.
I recommend the last minute of this video, if anyone wants to fast-forward. This next video is specifically for the exchange that Hyro and I had:
Hyro writes: Jamming a vacuum with blades in to someone's crotch with then intent of killing what's inside the womb, however, is a little easier to prevent.
Oni writes: Why don't you just post a picture of a dead fetus for the full affect?
Hyro writes: I could be extremely graphic and provide all sorts of imagery and I could say that God is going to kill all Pro-Choicers while regurgitating various scriptures. That would be akin to what you're talking about. Me describing a process is me describing a process that most people want to pretend doesn't really happen. - Oni

Here's a clip from Robin Ince's atheist Christmas extravaganza Nine Carols for Godless People. It starts with Mark Steel, who's pretty good (and a musical act that I strongly recommend skipping), but the bit that I thought would interest members here is Ince's monologue on the depiction of science as a dry, dull, boring subject. It starts about 7 minutes in.
Boo! Boring science! The whole thing can be found on Youtube. The next section, featuring Simon Singh doing a humorous take-down of the Bible Code is pretty good as well. Mutate and Survive "A curious aspect of the theory of evolution is that everybody thinks he understands it." - Jacques Monod

I can't watch the video (at work, sorry!), but your mention of "boring science" reminds me of watching Mr Wizard in science class. That most definitely could not be constituted as boring. That guy made learning about nerdy science-y shit fun as hell!
In doing so, i found out you can actually buy the entire series on DVD! here Who are we?

Hi hooah,
Yeah, I've heard of Mr Wizard, he looks cool. In the UK we have a chap called Johnny Ball who used to do a similar show, Think of a Number. Much loved. By eerie coincidence, Ball recently featured in one of the Nine Carols shows. He brought up the subject of climate change scepticism and was booed off the stage! So much for heroes of science education. Mutate and Survive

Bill Nye took a stab at deniers, called them "unpatriotic". If Bill Nye is dogging you, you MUST be wrong. Who are we?

Mr. Wizard was on his way out when I was a child. I still really liked his show. It was slowly replaced by 3-2-1 Contact.
Bill Nye came in around the same time as Beakman's World. Bill crushed the hell out of Beakman and his rat. I was such a nerd during high school, I used to record Bill Nye on VHS so I could watch it again later.

Hey Misha.
It was slowly replaced by 3-2-1 Contact. I can still remember the words, music, and opening sequence for that show. Those were the days... These days my 7 year old can sing all the words to the Spongebob themesong. *sob* Have a good one.
