Nanobots taking over the planet

[micko]

Horizon on Thursday next, "The Dark Secret Of Hendrik Schon" (BBC 2, 9 pm)

Schon explains how nanobots could be a right nightmare, turning the world into creeping grey goo. But is this the same Hendrik Schon who was involved in some data integrity row at Bell Labs/Lucent a couple of years ago?

And there's the BBC calling him "science's answer to David Beckham"?

Check out an old Wired story:

"science's answer to David Beckham"
*falls over laughing*
Oh, I so reserve the right to steal this at a future date. I even know who to apply it to :D

I have a few candidates as well Sparks - so much more descriptive than just 'f*cking himbo' :D

Well it's a bit better than "Science's answer to Jamie Oliver"

[Sparks]

Micko, I'm stealing that one too, and I've got a second group of candidates for the title....

I suppose you're looking for science's answer to Nigella Lawson as well.

If Science's answers are David Beckham, Jamier Oliver and Nigella Lawson, what were the questions?

Has anyone got either science's answer to a plonker who missed this because I was up to me tonsils in work last Thursday, or a time machine, or a vid of the prog?
