The second part of Enemies of Reason, the two part series hosted by Dawkins, aired yesterday night here in the UK. At some point, Deepak Chopra, the quantum quack, was interviewed by Dawkins. Mr Chopra said the word quantum is used as a metaphor in alternative therapies, and then - to the eternal surprise of reason - claimed scientists have hijacked the word.

I don't think he would want to interview Chopra again.
Note on first part here. What's a lolcat. Where's the real cat.
