It's on the 5th, 6th and 7th of Jan, so I'll get to see it before I have to fuck off back to Germany. I wonder how they're going to tackle it? From this excerpt from the linked page, I think it may be another fawning wankfest:

"Its legacy is tangible, with terms like algebra, algorithm and alkali all being Arabic in origin and at the very heart of modern science - there would be no modern mathematics or physics without algebra, no computers without algorithms and no chemistry without alkalis".

I do hope they cover the Al-jahiz's Kitab-al Hayawan -- should give the Afadlys of this world something to mull over...

And I do hope they'll also cover the points brought up by this video:

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort need to do another video demonstrating how Ray's unit is god-designed to be the perfect size for his hand.  And then Kirk could give a further demonstration of how his mouth fits into the picture.  I'd give that one four stars.

I would be totally unsurprised if both Ray and Kirk turned out to have been gay sex partners.
