Oh my god he is such a geek spaz dorkwad! First off, the guy's name is "Miles O'Brien." You know, like this guy. Secondly, he's CNN's "space correspondent." How big a nerd do you have to be to not only be a news anchor, but be a space news anchor AND share the name of a regular Star Trek character? Can you imagine how badly he was picked on at whatever communications school he went to?
Well he was the guest on tonight's Daily Show and he made not just one, but two nerdy references to Back to the Future, including a reference to the "flux capacitor"--the all important invention of Doc Brown's that allowed the De Lorean to travel through time when it reached 88 mph.
He is so getting a wedgie from Wolf Blitzer tomorrow.
