All set for #Voltaire2012 - a lecture for people interested in the Importance of Being Interested, presented by very interesting @robinince.
Over twenty people in the room before the doors even due to be open. Keenness. #Voltaire2012- Weird things already happening tonight, and the spaghetti, worms, and brass section hasn't yet been mentioned. #Voltaire2012
#voltaire2012 "he's neither man nor beast but a seedy bibliosexual" (intro to Robin Ince)
"I'm a militant atheist...Which merely means I say I'm an atheist, or at least that's how it works in the media" - @robinince #Voltaire2012- Trombone player has been explained. Turns out it is Darwin's fault. #Voltaire2012
.@robinince giving our #Voltaire2012 lecture. Currently talking about worms. Worms, it turns out, are brilliant. http://pic.twitter.com/e2l95Gl3- Aristotle didn't use experiments, just reason. That's why he thought vaginas took moisture from women's legs - @robinince #Voltaire2012
Good stuff at #voltaire2012 - here's @robinince in full effect, telling a story about Johnny Ball. http://pic.twitter.com/AVBnwHHt
"kind of nutty" is not used enough in scientific debate #voltaire2012 @ @robinince- "I don't like mauve. It's a scientific colour." @robinince talks about what people think young people think. #voltaire2012
A trombonist has just come on stage. I don't know why. Also @robinince has put some worms on the table #Voltaire2012 http://pic.twitter.com/NX1Z4qHp
We are watching a grown man playing the trombone to some worms. It'd just take too long to explain... #voltaire2012- Do worms react to sound. Live demo with trimbone player & worms at #voltaire2012
- Easy to express nonchalant dismissal of science now that we don't spend a lot of our time at children's funerals- @robinince #Voltaire2012
Chucky D facts: 1) baboons get hangovers. 2) don't read the barnacle stuff - 20yrs of barnacles is a bit much. #Voltaire2012
@BHAhumanists #Voltaire2012 a turnip might not strive to be a man but a swede may?...
What a lovely evening at #Voltaire2012 with @RobinInce. Who is amazing, you understand.
#Voltaire2012 Brilliant lecture from @robinince at the BHA Voltaire lecture. Learnt that baboons suffer form hangovers and worms are deaf.
@robinince was like a firecracker on stage last night! A million entertaining thoughts on the Importance of being interested. #Voltaire2012
