Great, the one part that I seemed to be leading up to a major paradigm shift in my life (seeing as how I have had a few before because of his writing), and they cut it off for the Bill. Thanks for posting, though.

Obviously the editor of this episode was religious.

If only he were still alive. He could help undo the idiotic "intelligent design" notion that's so prevalent in American discourse these days.

I'm not the only one who masturbated to Hitchiker's Guide.

This seems like a shortened version of his lecture "Parrots the Universe and Everything," also viewable on Youtube. But this version doesn't mention the parrot or the Komodo dragon, or his trip to Australian to the venom specialist, :) lol, check that one out if you enjoyed this, although Australian questions were a bit better compared to USA which mostly asked about Hitchhiker.

This is probably the most interesting point of the whole talk.

Anywho, really interesting stuff. Thanks
