    This lens is fantastic! I'm a science geek too and these things are so much fun. And thanks for your comment on the "Bleep" film. I went to a screening and cracked up all the way through it, mostly because the people around me were taking it so seriously.(which also wanted to make me cry)...

    I'm sticking to reasonable definitions of science here and no offense but that movie is just chock full of pseudoscience and logical fallacies. If you liked it that's great but it's not science.

    Another excellent lens! I loved the molecular jewelry :) - yes I'm a science geek too!

    I'd add the DVD for "What the bleep do we know?" to this list ;D.
