you hear a quote on "NewsNIght with Aaron Brown" and you immedaitely exclaim "no, NO, Isaac Asimov did NOT say that, it was Arthur C. Clarke!"

The line quoted was "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." it's known as "Clarke's Third Law".

But we couldn't tell you who won "Survivor", "American Idol", "The Apprentice" or who's playing in the NBA finals (they are playing in the finals, finally, I think.)
