What do Jonathan Ross, Brian Cox, Simon Singh and Ben Goldacre have in common?

Along with comic book artists, television presenters, astrobiologists, science journalists, chess champions and even an ex-Member of Parliament, they’re all featured in the 2011 Geek Calendar, a celebration of British nerdiness (and no, I’m not going to get in the geeks vs nerds vs dweebs debate here).

The Geek Calendar also has a serious side: sales support the campaign for libel reform, which you may remember came about when Simon Singh was sued for being critical of chiropractic.

This two minute video is perfect Friday afternoon entertainment, and has the added bonus of the full horror of Simon Singh’s haircut:

I was butt-naked and covered in sweat… talking about the origins of life on earth

Enjoy the video; even better, buy the calendar: and have a great weekend.
