WIRED SCIENCE, the joint Wired Mag / PBS project, has wrapped up production for a bit -- but the show's still airing Wednesdays at 8pm through December 26. They're also posting some extra little clips of goodness on YouTube. Up today, a short piece in which show host
Chris Hardwick (who's also half of the alt-comic duo "
Hard 'n' Phirm") and
Office worker
Rainn Wilson (recently christened by People mag as one of the "
Sexiest Men Alive") explore what's inside various common household products. It's plenty fun, but the clip's title in YouTube -- "What's Inside Rainn Wilson" -- suggests even greater enigmas.

Goof of?
Squee! Geek pr0n!
WIRED SCIENCE totally rules.
I finally saw the better part of an episode of Wired Science this weekend and quite liked it, though it can be a touch dry and/or stiff at certain moments. Hardwick is in his element, though whether some of his guests are in his element is debatable.
