I'd watch this.
Hey, can we get a pairing of Celine Dion with Larry Moran?

Random Quote
The people with the best reason to attack Pat Robertson are devout Christians who care about the credibility of their faith. They object to the partisan uses he has sought to make of the passion of Christ. But not one of them worthy of respect, and especially not the Pentecostal faith where Robertson began, would trivialize the agony and suffering of its redemptive God into campaign slogans for politicians. Faith, to be blunt, is irrelevant to many of the political causes that Robertson has forcefully championed. Not to all of them, and we shall come to those issues. What needs emphasis now is the fact that Robertson's self-declared war to save the soul of America is not with secular humanists, as he says. It is with other Christians.

Hey! I also have a high-school diploma!

The assigned tasks were rather unequal. Isolate a gene vs. solve the folding problem?
Posted by: Glen | April 14, 2007 11:46 AM
I confess I cringed a lot. This may not be a parody. It may be a prediction.

Well, given his dissertation they probably thought it fair to give him something harder.

Damn Billy Bubba, that science is hard!
This show might actually serve a great social purpose if it could show just how hard science is compared to other activities. Almost all of us can take dance classes and get at least poorly proficient. But we can't all be research biochemists, not even bad ones.

Actually doing this (admittedly with serious intent and appropriate activities) would be interesting.
Of course, isn't that what PBS does already?

How long have you hated Larry?
Posted by: Mike Haubrich | April 14, 2007 1:30 PM
Pairing Celine Dion would be attractive if you want to have an all-Canada Team, but I am afraid of what they would produce were he to shake her all night long.

LOL!
BTW, the Chinese guy really says "I like men".

Moran might have more affinities with Claire Pelletier. I didn't find anything by her on Youtube or Daily Motion, but here is just a sound file.

Check out the old Ealing comedy The Man In The White Suit some time. Joan Greenwood talking polymer chemistry in one of the sexiest voices known to mankind.

Does anyone know if Michael Strahan really did his college thesis on molecular signaling?
And if so, does anyone know if he's single?

I am reminded of Denise Richards in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, pretending to be, in her words, "an atomic scientist" (Presumably what real scientists would call a nuclear physicist>. I can't figure out why she didn't win an Oscar for that role.
Posted by: Ginger Yellow | April 15, 2007 1:02 PM
God that film (the Bond one, not the biochemistry one) pissed me off. It really put the lie to the claim that post-Goldeneye Bond girls were substantial, even feminist roles. Richards's entire job in that film consists of three things:
1) Be the butt of a really crappy sexual pun.
2) Wear a wet shirt.
3) Press a button when Bond tells her to.

Funny, I didn't think Donny Osmond believed in Biochemistry.
Posted by: Jud | April 15, 2007 10:16 PM
Oh, Strahan is definitely single, after an extremely public, messy and expensive divorce.
Fortunately, all I care about is what he does on a football field.

Denise Richards had lines in that movie? I didn't realize that. But there were a couple of things distracting me when she was on screen.
Posted by: andyo | April 16, 2007 9:12 AM
Donny Osmond is funny.
