Hey - I missed that Nova special - I'll look it up. I read the book by Brian Green quite some time ago. Pi would be on my list too, but I can't fit anymore films... Caligula is about the Roman Emperor and stars Malcom McDowell. Its rather explicit and a hell of a good time - if you like that sort of thing. ;o)
What is your interest in Ancient Egypt? I would be very interested in learning or discussing it - I've not delved since I learned mummification techniques when I was about fifteen....
I enjoyed your drawings - you are very good. It has been so long since I read "The Elegant Universe" that I'm having difficulty answering your question. I know I was taken with his insistence on the eleven dimensions. It wasn't an easy book for me to read - I am theoretically minded but mathematics send me into panic attacks so I was being brave and Greene was kind enough to sort of hold my hand through that book. I have his more recent book, "The Fabric of the Cosmos : Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality" but have yet to make time to read it. There are just so many books to be read! I'll get around to it. Or I'll ask my brother - he's got his PhD in Physics. ;o)
I am familiar with the Marquis, but have not read his work. I do like a little S&M with my B&D. I tend to be submissive. I keep it to the bedroom, as I am far too assertive elsewhere for the lifestyle to really work for me!
I'd be willing to learn Ancient Egyptian if you can teach me to pronounce it - do you know how? I have some ties to Egypt - bits of her in my soul. Sand.... Forgive me. I would very much like to talk with you about Egypt and why you have chosen to study her, if you are willing.
