At Will in Aus:

This is a question born out of sheer curiosity: has there ever been a white Christmas down there?

I live at about 700 metres above sea level just south west of Sydney.

People here have told me that one Christmas there was snow in the morning, but it was hot by lunch time.

For these reasons, it is so bitterly ironic when that FOXnews gay priest screams at that "Tree of Knowledge" displaying atheist woman that "CHRISTMAS IS A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY!!!"

I mean, arent EVEN THESE facts part of the theological education?

This was from some 4 or 5 years ago, it's surprising it's only turned up now. But it's still great. I remember watching it with my Christian relatives. That was a tad uncomfortable.

Great to see a bit of QI on here, Steven Fry is definitely a hero of mine (along with Brand and O'Brien) We Brit's are lucky to have quality programmes from 'Auntie Beeb' like this.

Quotes of Note:

"The fight both for and against slavery in the United States was waged first along scriptural lines. . . . There was also the theory of the descent from Ham which attained great vogue and still does in certain quarters. . . . With the superseding of religion by science the battle of inequality shifted from a scriptural wording to a scientific one. Now it was no longer what "God had said" but what color, hair, and skull showed. . . . In other words, the pro-slavery faction and the antislavery one had entered the stage in new costumes. Underneath were the same bodies."

Joel Augustus Rogers

"For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria."

Richard Dawkins

"Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion."

Jon Stewart

"Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it."

Richard Dawkins

"There are all sorts of things that would be comforting. I expect an injection of morphine would be comforting... But to say that something is comforting is not to say that it's true."

Richard Dawkins
