"The Root of All Evil?"

Richard Dawkins has a new two-part television series out: The Root of All Evil? It is billed as a challenge to contemporary religious belief systems, examining religion's destructive force in the modern world.

The first episode - "The God Delusion" - aired last night at 8:00pm GMT on BBC 4, which I am downloading [via bittorrent] as I type this. You can find the torrent file here (don't worry about what the tracker says, I picked up 28 seeds and 52 peers). The next and final segment airs Monday the 16th, same time and channel.

On a barely related note - the hermit crabs arrived today from Iowa! Yay!!! I welcome these stalwart nomads to our California life of light and warmth.
