I watched every episode of Cosmos and loved it. Entertaining and totally interesting. Something about the way they present the ideas, facts and history just kept glued to it.
And yes I agree. We devote too much attention to celebs and not enough attention to things that really matter.

Serious question: Have you ever been arrested for stalking? Because I'm starting to feel stalked. Take the hint: Fuck off.

I learned some of this in elementary school, and some of it in high school. One of my favourite teachers was an electronics teacher, Mr. Mestan. He looked like a crazy scientist too, complete with the lab code and crazy gray scraggily eyebrows. Awesome. All I cared about was that class, my science class, and my computer classes. I barely passed french, history and the rest - just didn't care.
