The View: Nothing predates Jesus in this flat world.

Nothing like the intellectual powertalk carried on by Madden, Gifford, Dierdorf or any other number of male football commentators. And incidentally, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who is also known for a number of ludicrous discussions on this show, is married to the Seahawks' esteemed QB, Matt.

Is that a genuine clip? Why haven't I noticed how blue-screened that was until now?

Blue-screening is always very obvious when the original cellulite film has been scanned and digitized and put on higher resolution computer or video screens. You didn't notice it because it wasn't visible. If you've seen it on TV in the past, chances are that it was transferred to videotape, which isn't so high a resolution as current all-digital media.

Could be, if the non-Euclidean space is only 2-dimensional. There are all sorts of different n-dimensional non-Euclidean spaces. Somehow, I don't think that's what was tripping up our fair rotund maiden.

Einstein showed us all the universe is not a Euclidean space because time is an essential part of the universe. Euclidean really only refers to, as you say, topology, and not the makeup of the universe (physics). But really, Euclid learned all about his space from Jesus: who knows if the world is flat in Jesus-space?

As for the rest of the 'stupidity,' I don't see the point in arguing how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin.
It seems that four is about the maximum. Oh, and one last note: BW is the exec. producer of 'The View.' It's basically her show. She's the one who does all the hiring and firing. The cute Asian, Lisa Ling, is long gone--she does a National Geographic show where she goes all over the world and lives in extreme situations. I believe she also did a show where she documented prison life for a month, though not sure.

I rather enjoyed this:

I remember a skit on Conan I think around the time of an NHL All-star game. They had an empty net with targets in all the corners. They had the faces of the women from the view on them. You got points for hitting any of them, except Lisa Ling, which got points deducted. I can't remember which player they got to take the shots, but it captured my sentiments on the show.

Wow, I didn't know anyone still read that. Abbott was the old Headmaster of my school. Great guy. Judging by current attitudes among some of the staff at the school, I suspect a few might have taken it a bit too literally. I wish the UK had daytime TV like that. Our morons aren't nearly as entertaining as your morons.
