I love Ben Stein. I remember in college I would try to win his money and I loved every minute of it. Man, he even makes itchy, watery eyes hilarious. But if I learned anything from Jimmy Kimmel, Ben’s smart. Check out fora.tv with the cool chapter markers to navigate through Ben speaking at the Commonwealth Club about all sorts of stuff. (If you don’t want to sit in on an economics and education lecture, watch America’s Most Smartest Model for more Ben wit.)
With Expelled, I love that Ben Stein’s not some crazy ranter but actually presents himself, well, intelligently.
I just now have to figure out when to watch the movie. Not necessarily one that a four year-old will find captivating.
On the topic of captivating, the Gallagher Girls are week 14 on the Times bestsellers. Woo! (And I’m excited for Ally’s cat burglar series.)
Have you checked out the new Photoshop for sound, DNA? Direct Note Access lets you talking not just one section of music but actually the specific notes/frequencies.
Have you seen the Get Smart Shoe Phone Contest? Very similar to the Google Mail one.
The Haiku
So I asked myself
The most important question:
What can’t Ben Stein do?
Semi-related posts:
Can he tell us how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
Well, yeah, he probably can.
He would provide market trends of Tootsie Pops and respond dryly how that’s minutes of his life he’s not getting back.
