Even a beard doesn’t help.
He’s also Spanish, the result of shipwrecked Amada sailors.
See if you can spot him here

You cannot really see him. But fair dos, it’s not a bad song. He is hard to identify even in the band pictures when you know you are looking at him.
Perhaps he and Dr Brian May can form a rock band.

The Two Brains.
Was a pretty good documentary, old Korean grannies diving for seafood were pretty cool.
I enjoyed it.
The swimming with the Manatees was pretty cool as well, interesting to see them hanging around the warmer water near the power plant, thought they were all dead when it first showed them before the explanation.

They do seem friendly animals, despite their bad breath.

I was just reading the below, I wonder if a cheap device could be made that boats could carry that emits a high frequency signal that scares them away. Large number are killed by boat strike each year
Manatees hear on a higher frequency than would be expected for such large marine mammals. Many large boats emit very low frequencies, which confuse the manatee and explain their lack of awareness around boats. The Lloyd’s mirror effect results in low frequency propeller sounds not being discernible near the surface, where most accidents occur. Research indicates that when a boat has a higher frequency the manatees rapidly swim away from danger.
It will need to improve for me, I thought it slow moving. His uranium and that program explaining how physics limit living animals were much better IMO.

It was slowish and light on science, but I expect he’s leading into us into heavier stuff as the series unfolds.
I found it relaxing. Apart from those human pyramids which look like serious injuries waiting to happen.

I’ve got a couple of documentaries recorded to catch up on, one on dark energy and another on the discovery and recovery of a dinosaur fossil

They did indeed

Somewhere In Spacetime: Professor Brian Cox follows Earth’s epic journey through space. He takes to the air in a top-secret fighter jet to race the spin of the planet, plus a ride of a different kind on a monstrous wave in Brazil
Watched yesterday’s taped episode this evening, it was a damn good one. Final episode next week.

I’m indulging in watching it right now, almost at the end.
Been good. Thought the trip to Africa to discuss oxygen and iron in the blood was a bit gratuitous, but oh well.

It was a way of introducing the relationship between iron and oxygen in both purely mineral form (red ochre, rust) and its role in blood, and blood’s role in energy distribution etc.
I enjoy those human angles, paints a more holistic pitcher :)

As a vego, I don’t drink blood, right?
Well you may think I never have but this would be way incorrect.

I’d imagine you sometimes drink blood when you have a nose bleed.

I got the narrative. Just couldn’t help thinking it was a nice excuse for an exotic overseas trip.

Moments before the olympics.. an organic shithole that nobody could swim in.
