Katie Melua owned on the last part.

Remembers me of the time when Neil DeGrasse Tyson complained to James Cameron that at the end of Titanic the star disposition wasn't accurate to the one at that certain time and location. To which Cameron responded: "Titanic sold 1.4 billion dollars. Imagine how much we could sell if we got the star map right."

Funny thing, if you watch this video backwards, at one point he clearly says "Yghang fi irtupbaa ooawh it aaargh." That creeped me out.

#4 Well, He speaks fast indeed, but your poor english is not the reason to call people rednecks. And if you really want to understand the other half of that great speech (and improve your english) try here with subtitles: http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_shermer_on_believing_strange_things.html

skepticism is good for science, but sometimes it could prevent us from new discoveries.

His nose itches so bad when he says all crop circles are fake ;)) he has to rub it twice.
Also when he mentions (several times, every time) the inexistence of intelligent design: itchy-scratchy bigtime.
Yes he itches a lot during this video :D - seems to me he is not so convinced of what he is saying, to put it gently.
