Colbert talks about Big B-SRK



“Kind of like the Indian Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, only crank up the handsome and rip off the knob.” That’s how Stephen Colbert described Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in a segment Tuesday evening making fun of celebrity feuds.
“Let me tell you something: If Pree-etty Zinta is there, you better fucking show up”

One of the bloggers wrote:
'Watch for yourself, but to my eyes this was a more sophisticated intro to Bollywood than anyone in the studio audience might have expected'

The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres.

Instead of using acoustic vibrations, the team's system exploits the resonance of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation includes radio waves, infrared and X-rays.

This is so exciting :o)
