#4 - Michael Faraday
A passing mention in last week's post about impostors and underdogs got me thinking about Michael Faraday again, and I went looking for a good bio
Last night's episode of the Cosmos reboot focused on one of the three physicists whose pictures Einstein kept in his office: Michael Faraday.
Next up in the Top Eleven is a man who is largely responsible for the fact that we have electricity to run the computer you're using to read this.
A French tv channel has a daily science program for young people called "C'est pas Sorcier"(It's not magic). So far it has had 400 episodes.
I hate that guy, stephen colbert. "God did it". Fuck that motherfucker. He needs to read Dawkin's Unweaving the Rainbow damn it.
It's either "Ce n'est pas sorcier" or those Frenchies are being sarcastically French. The above translation (#1) means "It's magic."
Carl: I hope you will delete (and ban) the foul comment from Andrew. Thanks.
P.S. I am enoying Microcosm. Oddly, I put it on hold at my local library, and the library checked it out to me the day before the book was available in stores.
The French often leave out "ne" in such cases. It is more literary to say something like "ce n'est pas", but usually people just say "c'est pas". They mean the same thing.
Um, Andrew, I think you are missing the point of the show buddy. Take a deep breath.
