One amusing, one less so, both via failblog:
Both fails were great, but the second was especially troubling.
Everyone voted for Barabbas on Good Friday.
"They have all fallen away, they are all alike perverse; there is no one who does good, no, not one." (Psalm 53:3)
I'm not sure when this was written, but there is an update to the Bill Nye story here. Quote:
UPDATE: A USC student who attended the lecture wrote in to contest the assertion that students in the audience were tweeting and texting after Nye fell. He writes: "When Bill Nye fell, he was only down for a very brief 5 to 6 seconds. During this period, everyone was so confused and shocked, we assumed it was part of the show and no one could have, or did, know that it was a medical problem. It was our childhood hero, we did not want it to be a medical issue. Everyone was so riveted and confused, NO ONE reached for their phone. We wouldn't even know what to say, we had no idea why he had fallen anyhow. The whole auditorium was silent and on edge, we were at once concerned and confounded. Once he came to, apologized for falling, and stumbled while grabbing on to the podium, everyone realized the awful truth and stage hands jumped to the stage to assist him."
