Richard Wiseman is funny, smart, personable, and uncommonly handsome. He'll also be giving a talk on January 5th in New York City promoting his new book 59 Seconds. Called "Investigating the Impossible", it's sponsored by the NYC Skeptics. It's free and open to the public. He really is a great speaker, and if you're near the Big Apple you should go. And tell him how good-looking he is.
