“I can’t disprove the existence of Poseidon…”

This video had me on the floor laughing. Not quite literally, but almost literally. (Video below the fold.)

My favorite lines:

“And why is it that the legends of Poseidon are filled with these fantastic miracles and feats, and we don’t see anything like that today?”

and:

“Lots of people tell me that I’m just close-minded, and that the evidence for Poseidon is there — I just choose not to acknowlege it.”

Great stuff. Smart, funny, absolutely to the point.
