I have done one, now waiting for YouTube to process it, and it is a demonstration of one of the Gas Laws that we may see everyday in the kitchen with out realizing it.

Depending on processing It should be here

I can’t even remember the last time I saw Mr. Wizard. Must’ve been when I was in grade school. I think I was too young.
Most of the science I saw on TV was Bill Nye. Nowadays, it’s Mythbusters.

Back on topic, I lack a webcam. Even if I had one, I’m not sure what I could do, aside from mix baking soda with vinegar, or demonstrate various combustible liquids (IMO, NASA does that better than anyone!).

I think I can help M understand things a little here:

Most people are insecure - this is a good thing, because it makes us try harder, and the ones that aren’t are pr*cks anyway.

Some people try to counter their insecurity by doing or saying something interesting, or producing neat ideas, or art, or songs, etc.

Others, without any talent or brains whatsoever, simply try to tear others down, to make themselves seem important by comparison. Pretty pathetic, but there you go.

Hope I helped you out a bit
Anyway, as for the real topic, no decent video access here either, alas. Maybe I can work up a flash slideshow or something. I have to admit to never having seen Mr. Wizard at all, but I appreciate what he and others have done to promote an interest in science. Sounds like a nice tribute.

I have deleted M’s last comment as it was very rude, and marked him as spam. He blew it; I don’t delete people only because they disagree with me, obviously, only those who do it in such a insulting manner.
