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. Video Link. Incidentally, Hard 'n' Phirm are on stage Decemer 5 in LA: Link.
