Dara O'Briain and Prof. Brian Cox Pissing Off Astrologers

Source: In this clip from the first day of BBC's Stargazing Live program in 2011, Dara O Briain and Prof. Brian Cox talk about the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus.
At the end, they make a throwaway joke that astrology is nonsense, which astrologers are terribly upset about.
"The Association will be requesting that the BBC make a public apology and a statement that they do not support the personal views of Professor Brian Cox or Dara O'Briains on the subject of astrology. We also request that the BBC will commit to making a fair and balanced representation of astrology when aired in the future."

Aren't memories funny things?

Every time I hear the word conjunction, I immediately think and sing the line from that dancing vegetable with a top hat and cane, "Conjunction junction, what's your function?"

Here's a tip about intellectual honesty: you don't have the right to get offended if something you believe in is demonstrably false and people call you out on it.

But you do have the right to be offended or upset if someone proves you're wrong and then punches you in the face to end the point. I'm saying that this is what I do to end arguments.
