Some of you were very disappointed that this amusing monolog by Tim Minchin was yanked off of youtube shortly after I mentioned it. Hey, it's back, in an official release by Minchin himself!

It was cold, and it was pouring rain for much of the afternoon, but the rally was a huge success nevertheless. The official estimate from the Park's Department was 20,000, which seems about right to me. I'm not generally a real social person, and I'm not much of a joiner. But given that I live…
I haven't been doing these as regularly as I was earlier in the year, but here are a few interesting bits of news about How to Teach Physics to Your Dog:

A while back, I posted this video of an enthusiastic young atheist — and would you believe that almost immediately after I put it up, censorious theistic jerks started dunning youtube to remove all of her videos and ban her? It's nice to know that bullying thugs are monitoring Pharyngula to seek…

Anyone who hasn't seen his live DVD should watch it.. he's pretty good. Has some good acts wrt religion as well :D

Is this the same as the last youtube vid? The timing seems different - and not quite as good.
Oh wow, this is fantastic.
I'm with atticus. The previous version just him and a piano. Much better. This is still great but it drags in comparison. Still good but...

He did this at the 9 Lessons and Carols for Godless People. I think it works better without the backing track. Still great though.
Ick.
Earlier one was much better. The music on this one is too damned distracting, and the way he's reciting it is harder to follow.
I am sending that to all my hippie friends right now. I imagine I may have a few less friends in a moment or two.
Interesting. While googling for a video a week or two ago, I came across this site, in which Minchin apparently says he's gonna do exactly what he did here, and exactly for the same reasons. I'm now pretty sure that's a real post. Is that a well known atheist site?
By the way, I'm pretty sure it's the same performance, only better recording. In the "original", there was also a music track (you could barely hear it, but Minchin references it in the blog comment I linked above too).
I think people are misremembering the previous video. It was frequently inaudible, and only rendered comprehensible by the fact it was accompanied by a video transcript.
Can I just say that I liked Tim Minchin before he was cool?
In fact, for several years my wife has expressed the desite to "have his babies".
He's an extraordinarily talented Aussie comedian, singer, and pianist, though he has now (very sadly) relocated permanently to the UK.
He's still ours, though, damn it! He's still an Aussie!
*ahem*
So yeah... enjoy...
Never heard of the bloke, but suddenly I find myself liking a piece of poetry. Damn.
By the way, I'm pretty sure it's the same performance
