		<description>Being a fellow Scot I&#039;m proud of Craig Ferguson, sure he may accentuate his accent a little for the American market but he goes a long way show that us Scots aren&#039;t all kilt wearing, whiskey drinking, haggis eating, bag pipe playing stereotypes that are often seen in international media. Sure we do a little of that from time to time but not to Braveheart levels! &lt;/patriotic_rant_over&gt;

Excited to see the skeleton tho, been getting regular updates about it from Grant Imahara on his Twitter.</description>

		<description>Way back in 2001, there was a comedy debate on Australian television in which teams argued for and against the notion that &quot;the brain is the sexiest organ&quot;.

I (very) dimly recall that during the debate, reference was made to a myth that if two people stare into each others&#039; eyes for a given length of time (presumably blinking is allowed but not aversion of gaze) then an expression of either affection or violence will always result - put crudely, they will either kiss or punch.

It was a comedy debate, not to be taken seriously. But if I were to meet the Mythbusters at a party, then it&#039;s definitely something I would like to try. Preferably with Kari, who strikes me as the sort of person who would be amused by the suggestion.

My hypothesis: the experiment would probably end in a third option - laughter.</description>

		<description>Too bad Geoff won&#039;t have the proper amount of suction.

@Navneeth: That&#039;s one of the reasons why I really love his show. It&#039;s not like Leno (patooey) or Letterman where they make stale jokes getting the middle-of-the-road cheap laughs. He actually appreciates his audience and knows that they are intelligent people, and that he can talk about Flaubert , or like last week, talked to a moral philosopher and had an intelligent conversation.</description>

		<description>Basketball will delay things at least in the Eastern and Central time zones.  Tip off is scheduled for 9:21 Eastern.  TV listings in DC have the news starting at 11:30, so figure at least a half hour delay unless you&#039;re in the western U.S.

Grant has been releasing photos of Geoff on the Late Late Show set on his Twitter stream @grantimahara.</description>

		<description>Kudos to Mr. Ferguson. I&#039;m amazed that he managed to talk about Copernicus for five minutes on a late-night laugh-at-the-stereotype show.</description>
