GEOFFREY MILLER is a man with a theory that, if true, will change the way people think about themselves. His idea is that the human brain is the anthropoid equivalent of the peacock's tail. In other words, it is an organ designed to attract the opposite sex. Of course, brains have many other functions, and the human brain shares those with the brains of other animals. But Dr Miller, who works at the University of New Mexico, thinks that mental processes which are uniquely human, such as language and the ability to make complicated artefacts, evolved originally for sexual display.

OOH! Season 2 of the Muppet Show came out on DVD yesterday!
Also Rome S2 and Slings and Arrows S3 (a little while back) and something else I wanted to report but can't recall. Something we'd like!
Also also, there was some Canadian show with Callum Keith Rennie and the guy who played Darrin Nichols on Slings and Arrows that seemd to be worth mentioning. But I can't mention it because I can't recall the title.
Do you mean Twitch City?
