My favourite TV Educator - Professor Julius Sumner Miller.

Post by Cunt » Wed Mar 11, 2009 5:26 am

I just rediscovered Professor Julius Sumner Miller on 'The Hilarious House of Frightenstein'. After looking him up, I will share his piece on Bernoulis principle.

I hope it isn't just me who finds him entertaining as hell. Here is a man who LOVES his job.

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.

That was quite cool, actually.

He also performed on a childrens show called 'The Hilarious House of Frightenstein' with Vincent Price and others.

I wish I could have the whole collection.

Shit, thanks Cunt.

I used to watch this guy as a kid. I loved him. He had this expression "why is it so?" that he was known by. He's one of the reasons I went into physics. Physics is cool!

Jancis Robinson.

Anyone who wants to learn about wine should buy her BBC "Wine Course".

It's actually interesting, and cuts out all the overly technical and overly flowery bollocks.

The only thing I need to know about wine is how to drink it.

I've been to a couple of his live lectures. He gets badgered by fundies shouting things like, "The universe is the mind of god!" The contempt with which he dismisses such bollocks and continues with his talk is delightful to watch - mind you, he's had a few years to perfect the technique. Patrick rocks!

I couldn't find any of that on YouTube, though I must say he is closer to Professor Julius Sumner Miller's coat-tails than many others.

Have you got any links to him de-heckling freaks or other interfering bastards?

Fraid not. I just saw it happen live while I was there. The fundie nutjob piped up three or four times and PM dismissed him with a word or two and moved on. He's had such 'attention' ever since he mentioned he was not a believer way back in the 60s or 70s - not sure exactly when, or whether he claimed atheism or agnosticism.

Somebody I worked with once saw him playing xylophone in concert - but that was a long while ago. He is a unique bloke.

JSM was once asked to change his delivery to make it more accessible to the uneducated target audience (children)

He refused eloquently, basically saying that he hoped they didn't understand - because they could then look it up.

I miss his type. Neil deGrasse Tyson uses a similar style, but also dumbs things down more than JSM did.

I used to watch him when I was a kid - he did an Australian science show for kids. He was probably one of several reasons why I took the science pathway...

I wonder if he wondered about his Erdos number. If he was a one, you and me are kind of like 2's!
