| Carl Douglas - Kung Fu fighting, 1974 |
 |
Early performance of their song at the Dutch
absurdity show Discohoek from Wim T.
Schippers
I added some annotations for your viewing
experience ...
This quickly made B-side eventually sold over
nine million copies
In this little flick the host of the show,
Sjef van Oekel (roughly translated Van
Doofus), is welcoming them in gibberish -
Chinese, which Carl doesn't seem to
understand since to Sjef´s big surprise he
speaks English ...
In the middle of the clip Dolf shamelessly
celebrates the 12½ anniversary of their
program, but sidekick Evert van der Pik (van
der Dick) prefers buttermilk ...
The rest speaks for itself, hopefully

| Carl Sagan - A thousand years of darkness |
 |
Its happened before... Carl contemplates that
the "submission to ethnic, religious or
national identifications" and the rejection
of scientific values will leave us tenuously
on the brink of a 2nd (and possibly final)
dark age.

User Spiff embedded this clip on Videosift
with the following description: -
In this excerpt from the final episode of
Sagan's 'Cosmos,' he discusses why the
momentous discoveries of the ancient world
were unable to prevent the dark ages from
virtually banishing scientific thought for a
millennium, and how the ancient world's
greatest repository of knowledge, the great
library of Alexandria, met its regrettable
end. A sobering statement on what ignorance,
apathy and fanaticism can do if left
unchallenged.
