Mr Friggin' Science
Apparently Mr Friggin Science is something of an East Van institution - famous for his savant style recall of both useless and arcane science trivia/fact. For a mere one smacker one could put a question to Mr Friggin Science on a topic of one's choosing and hope for a reasonably cogent response. My favourite of the night was the little girl who asked Mr Friggin Science to explain the concept of spacetime (with only slight prompting from her dad!). Mr Friggin Science rose to the bait admirably recounting Einstein's theory of relativity for dummies. Yeah for Mr Friggin Science - hey you have to trust the man in the white coat don't you!?
