[Sound of thunderstorm]

I love the way you use props & sound effects...

By golly I may have to listen to it! But is it anything like the piece I once heard of this guy eating a HUGE bacon sandwich (or two) and then using his new iPOD thingy to measure…

Always presuming he actually did climb that tower?

Bart, I believe you would be termed a radio-presenter-climbs-Skytower denier. It was (ahem) over a year ago, so the first sentence was added in afterwards, but I did it all right (and with measurements — see graph in transcript).…

I wonder if John's promo shot will feature him in his undies next?

Assuming you mean John Campbell, we can hope. I know some women who have some serious mind-pron issues with that suit.

Science/engineering is totally visual for me, so it really gives me gyp to try and do…

And as a matter of curiosity and in the interest of encouraging home science experiments

How much energy does a screaming baby use?

ooo and is there…

By the way, did anyone see the 'Campbell Live' piece on the lunar eclipse — where the journalist interviewed an astrologer.

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the viewing public – to paraphrase Henry Mencken.

"Thunder. Enter the three Witches".

Not saying I was disappointed with the rest of the transcipt, just that my expectations had been heightened somewhat.

I'm going to attribute that to my mind being addled by eclipse watching.

Fair enough, dude! My mind was so addled by a screaming baby (so loud that even hardened Plunket nurses cover their ears and go: "Oh my God, that's loud") that, alas, I didn't even manage…

I guess I fail the test. I'm going to attribute that to my mind being addled by eclipse watching.

BTW, if anyone wants an easy intro to the theory and a very entertaining read, David Bodanis's E=MC2 is a fantastic book. It is the "biography" of the the theory of relatively that explains the current understanding of…

E=mc^2

It's the equation that tells you how much you get if mass is converted into energy (or vice versa). I seem to remember that the mass of the original atomic bomb was one gram less following explosion (i.e. if you gathered together all the bits of exploded bomb and…

And I didn't even do high school physics.

Proud to be a Nerd!

Well, I can't help but agree that it would make life a lot easier. Science/engineering is totally visual for me, so it really gives me gyp to…
