Richard Dawkins Rap - Beware the Believers

One of the most intelligent and well-done videos I've seen on YouTube. Some people say the message of the video can be taken either way, whether pro-science or pro-religion. I, personally, think it goes to the scientist as a nice way of addressing the desparate on-going religious attempts to make their faith-based beliefs legit and somehow tested and rounded as science. However, I guess you can see it how you want. Besides, seeing Hitchens and Dawkins in this manner is great and hilarious. As a few Ozzies say, "Good Gear!"

This is a radio documentary on the life and works of writer Howard Philip Lovecraft. Provides insight into Lovecraft's personal traits, small defects, and what made him unique and long-lasting.

On The Trail Of The Templars (BBC documentary)

Here is a documentary that the BBC did on the Knights Templar. It looks into their history and all the what-if conspiracy stories that arose because of their power, stature, and quick fall from power. And yes, it addresses some of the Da Vinci Code stuff too made popular through Dan Brown's page-turners.
