God, if you exist, prove it – pull my finger!

Richard Dawkins – 'and so, evolution…'
Kylie Sturgess – *thinks* Ah ha! He actually has timed his notes, is using an iPhone to keep within the time-limit he was given – and in the margins he has little summaries, like "sad beaver story"' :p

[in case you're wondering - true story...] ;)

Wow! Thanks for sharing :) What was he like? (We did not get to actually meet him…)

Heh, do I win?!?! :D

Always keeping an eye and ear open for effective and interesting speakers to get more tips – took a book with me (which I recommended to another scientist after the con and will be sending them the details) about 'effectively communicating your research'. Naturally, I'm still learning in that regard, but to see 'how Dawkins does it?' Priceless. :)

He's really very nice, a little formal – after all, there's a significant generation gap between him and most of us! He was kind of playful after the convention at a party we went to – he can handle his Vegemite much better than PZ. :p

Look, up in the sky, proof of the devine!!! Nah just kidding. You should have seen your face!! You were totally Pwned.

Or

Look Kylie, STILL no proof of god.

Science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can ….. off.

Must have been an amazing few days for you :)

BUSY.

This was work, a job that I was doing, essentially. A wonderful and much-appreciated opportunity, absolutely – but as anyone will tell you who works in event management / stage presentations / promotions (you may very well do!)… the glam and gloss is just a reflection of the hard-yards people were putting in behind the scenes to make it appear that way.

I wore kitten-heels the first day and was nearly crawling by the end of the night due to all the running around. Hence the glittery but distinctly comfortable flats I wore on the Sunday! Backstage is always a different story and of course, technical issues and the like are fairly inevitable for any event. I would have very much felt more nervous and hectic if it wasn't for the wonderful people I was working with who have been setting the scene for months before this actually happened. :) Would absolutely do it again if I got to work with the same crew. :)

I hear ya! 15 or so years in radio, with plenty of live stuff, outside broadcasting, and other stage work, I know what you mean :)

Thanks for dropping by @podblack. Every member of the team should be very proud for pulling off such a successful event first time out of the gate. Kudos to all!

Ok – here is mine: "Get Mr. Baldy Blue Pants the f**k out of here!"

"No, I am the Nazi Pope!!"

Waah, people, get back to doing funny captions!!! No one has yet suggested I was checking out his bottom!! :p

Dawkins: "Is the bar out there?"
Sturgess: "I wish I could turn THAT water into wine!"

Little did the audience know, behind the lectern, Dawkins was wearing Lycra gym shorts, and as can clearly be seen in this photograph, he is doing aerobics. Kylie is of course checking out his buns.

There you go Kylie :)

Yes, just put the babies over there for now, please. I'm not hungry just yet.

Good grief, that's the top of my head under PodBlack's feet!

Dawkins "Up there, is it a bird? is it a plane? no it's GOD!!"
Sturgess "are you dellusional? I don't see anything"

Darling, the God l am talking about is not the one between my legs, he is the one up there!

Dawkins: No desert for you until you finish your creationists! Now go to your room!
Kylie: Yes uncle Dawkins. :(

*queue disco music*
Dawkins: I'm doing the Saturday Night Evolution, baby! Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Evolution, evolution!
Kylie: Okay … backing away slowly …

"Kylie is dumstruck as Richard shows that you don't have to be a scientologist to dance to the Bee Gees. Stayin' alive, stayin' alive …"

Dawkins: “Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Nein Gott!

(do I win the godwin prize now please?)

Atheist Phone home!!!

LOL – Nice one :)

Ah, Cynskeptical kinda beat me to it. I was going to say

Dawkins: "I found Jesus! He's in the rafters manning the lights!"

Richard – "You're looking for Barney Zwartz? Barney? Yes… Yes… Out the door, ummm.. and around to the right and into the men's. He's trying to sniff out something offensive for his readers."

Kylie – "You just missed him. He wafted by with his latest scoop and I'm still trying to hold my breath."

You … The God Botherer up the back… GET OUT

or.. Stayin Alive… Staying Alive… ah ah ah ah … Staying Alive.. rofl

Richard Dawkins: This, this is the letter D. Next I shall show you the letter E.
Kylie Sturgess *thinks* Is this really the appropriate time to teach them sign language?

My submission is here: http://twitpic.com/18xafn

Richard Dawkins: Pull my finger.
Kylie Sturgess: What's that smell.

lol :)

Richard – "You're looking for Barney Zwartz? Barney? Yes… Yes… Out the door, ummm.. and around to the right and into the men's. He's trying to sniff out something offensive for his readers."

Kylie – "You just missed him. He wafted by with his latest scoop and I'm still trying to hold my breath."

Ms Bishop! That gaze may have petrified poor Kylie, but it will not work on me. Now do us all a favour and look at yourself in that mirror. #qanda

Dawkins: "I saw Jesus, and he's about this tall!"
Sturgess thinking: *Whoopsie! Someone took the brown acid!*

Sturgess "That there ladies and gentlemen, is the length this man will shove his atheists ways up your theistic butts if you don't stop abusing children with your indoctrinations at such an early age"
Dawkins "what? no I was just stretching….. wait that's not a bad idea there Miss Sturgess"

CAPTION-People say God is everywhere…but look where i point my finger…can you see any God???

Dawkins- look theres god! oh wait no thats chuck norris.

sturgess- whats the diffrence?

Science is interesting and if you don't think so, you can fuck off.

Best submission evar!
