    Once I started focusing on Haldane's handling of his glasses, I was happily relieved of trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

    If Hitchens was hungry, he would say "I am hungry." IfJohn Haldane was hungry, he would say "I, as someone who is bipedal and has to acquire energy from a source outside myself and beyond my autonomous being, must seek out and obtain carbon-based organisms in the form of plants and animals (most of them being quadrupeds) as a source of God-given sustenance to which we should be thankful."

    Legend has it Haldane is still explaining how the debate went to the first person that asked him.

    I was a christian apologist, the Veritas Forum debates made me an atheist. Thanks for the all the wonderful free thinkers you brought in that helped me out of religion.

    Haldane has the unique ability of making you forget, by the end of a sentence, what the beginning of the sentence was about.

    How can Haldane say so much yet not a word makes sense, but he did cure my insomnia.

    Haldane talked for 10 mins before I realized I had passed-out behind the wheel and drove my car straight through an active state fair ground.

    We played a drinking game where you take a drink every time Haldane takes his glasses off. We all passed out after 20 minutes

    I got to 5 mins into Haldane's speech, got bored then started reading everyone's comments then realised why I got bored and started reading everyone's comments! A suggestion of a book title for Haldane "How to say a lot while saying nothing"!

    Now I know you can miss someone you never knew, and be intolerably sad that they're gone.

    The applause at the end of Haldane's monologues is clearly not for its content, just for the fact (and relief) that he's stopped.
