Oh, don't get me wrong, I find that interesting... but then again I find everything kinda interesting. I'm actually kinda keen to see the aforementioned plumbing documentary. I was merely speaking in the voice of "member of the general public" up there who probably can't be persuaded to find all this stuff as interesting as whiz-bang relativity/quantum mechanics/cosmology. Note that it's only the most whiz-bang bits of physics which capture the imagination of the general public too -- try explaining solid state physics or optics to the general public and watch their eyes glaze over.
