In which I re-hash an old blog post for some exceptionally cheap japes.
BBC2. 9pm. 27th Jan 2013.
Take 1 finger of drink when Prof Cox says:
- “Millions”
- “Evolution”
- “Inherited”
- “Quantum”
- “Probability”
- “Vast”
- “Epic”
- “Gregor Mendel” or “Mendelian Inheritance”
- “DNA”
- “Primordial Soup“
- When ever Brian shouts at us from a moving vehicle. (Double for a flying vehicle – h/t @Markgfh)
- Whenever you see time lapse footage of the sky or clouds (like this) – h/t @MrMMarsh
Take 2 fingers of drink for:
- “Billions*”
- “2nd law of thermodynamics”
- “Panspermia“
- Any use of props (like salt and pepper shakers) or drawing in the sand with a stick (ht Rob and @carolwhead)
Take 3 fingers of drink for:
- “Trillions*”
- Any mention of crystallography or model of a protein/DNA structure. (Just because, OK!?)
Half-a-pint for:
- Any side-swipe at pseudoscience – creationism, homeopathy, astrology, etc
Finish your drink whenever you see Brian in silhouette up a mountain somewhere.
This is brilliant! x
What about beautiful
I have just got home from the 6 nations drinkinking game, this may well end wrong and on a school night!!
The man himself just suggested an extra rule on Twitter.
@ProfBrianCox Also – I suggest an addition to the #wonders drinking game – crosses in shot – 2 fingers of drink 🙂
I think Brian saying, “Amaaaazin'” needs to be on here!
I agree! My daughter who is a massive Prof fan says it all the time and does impressions of him saying it!
You forgot the one where prof cox ends up in a different country – 4 fingers
“Tremendous”
A special new thing in Life is Brian being worried/alarmed by wild animals. Sudden leopards etc deserves a drink.
Also – entertaining captions, and when our Prof screws up one of his demos!
‘Genuinely’ deserves a spliff.
How is “Remarkable” not on here???
