Thanks Charli-Ann. So I guess the video of "Gordon" is not to help identify the first actor since it shows only the known Matt Robinson. Odd. They need to post a clip from the pilot that shows the mystery Gordon.

The Sesame Street producers need to check IMDb which lists Matt Robinson as the original Gordon (1969-1972). From 1972-1975 he was the voice of Roosevelt Franklin http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0732900/filmoseries#tt0063951 http://fleamarketfunk.com/2009/10/28/matt-robinson-roosevelt-franklin-counts/

Saw a photo of the dead Qadhaffi on the Today Show. Not confirmed to be him, but it sure looks like him. Al-humdillilah!

Yes. He was quite the biblical literalist.

Don't worry, tiredblondy. Nobody is being forced to change anything. The BBC just CHOSE to use BCE/CE in their own broadcasts. I know what you mean about it getting harder to change with age.

I always loved 'Ozymandias'

OK. I feel I must participate in the poetry fest. Since we are discussing BCE/CE, I'll contribute a poem excerpt about one of my favorite ancient cities that thrived during that transitional period spanning the two eras. They seem no work of Man's creative hand, Where Labour wrought as wayward...

You are absolutely right, Steadfast. It is a compromise. I suppose after Americans refused to adopt the metric system despite its proven superiority, the chance that we would adopt and entirely new calendrical system was clearly out of the question. Perhaps some day there can be a truly...

We all have things that we just. must. resist.

Unless adopting BCE/CE a reflection of a New Renaissance.

I like tradition, too. But sometimes "tradition" is better translated as "Dark Ages".

This is a terminology that has been used globally for a couple of decades already. My students manage to get it with about a 3 minute explanation. It really isn't that hard. And in that 3 minute explanation, they are also learning other well-used dating terminology abbreviations such as mill...

I don't see an analogy here. Unless the terminology stand for Before the Capitalist Empire (BCE) and Capitalist Empire (CE)

You are correct that the BBC is not an academic institution, but it is one of the rare media outlets that handles the news in a serious and respectable manner. People all over the world tune in to them for information and so it makes sense that they wish to use terminology that recognizes their...

I have been using BCE/CE for about 20 years. It is standard in the sciences.

This is ridiculous. Of course Wal-Mart should pay for the little girl's medical bills. They are not only morally responsible but legally responsible. As someone already posted, I would be responsible if this happened to a guest in my home. Wal-Mart is responsible even if they weren't negligent.

That's what I thought when I first read the headline, Nova! I don't know what to do to get our elected "leaders" to act for the greater good of the country. If cutting off the donations works, then Kudos to Starbucks. Unfortunately, the personal wealth of so many of the higher ups -- and...

What a woman! And what a slap in the face of her attacker.
