	I liked the comment about optical illusions books being renamed to 
brain failures.

We always enjoy seeing his stuff - though he usually goes by "Neil 
DeGrasse Tyson" - I don't think I've ever heard him go just by first/last 
name.

He shows up on The Colbert Report quite regularly, and we've been 
recording Nova ScienceNow since he started hosting.

  That's one of the best presentations on the subject I have seen in a long
time.
