I got tickets to see Richard Dawkins!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

After his American tour, Dawkins is coming back to his home turf to do a one-off special night in the Oxford University debating chamber. It promises to be "the biggest event of the year", with both Dawkins and Lalla Ward reading from The God Delusion. Atheism is the new rock 'n' roll.

Ooh yeah.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

He's doing a series of dates in the US at the moment, then there's just Oxford when he gets back - a last night of the tour homecoming kind of thing.

The devil has all the best tunes, but he doesn't require you to believe in his existance to enjoy the tunes! Everyone wins!

Please tell me that Dawkins will come to the front of the stage and begin by saying, "Please allow me to introduce myself..."
