Tonight, on NOVA, it’s The Last Great Ape, promising to have lots of sex and violence (violence provided by the genus Homo, I’m afraid). These are very cool apes, well worth watching.
Richard Dawkins will be interviewed on Australian TV tonight, at 8pm. Since the news down under is full of this nonsense about the canonization of Mary McKillop, I hope they’ll talk about that madness, and that Dawkins will introduce a little reason into the media.

Tonight! On PBS’ Nova! It’s a promising new documentary on human evolution, Becoming Human.

Especially since the designer turned the description into a humanist manifesto!
All it takes is an autotuner and a few well-known science popularizers.
I think I like this band, NOFX.
