Nuts and Gum posted:I don't know what Terry gross looks like and I'm afraid to look it up. I looked it up once and she looks like an alien. What I remember, but do not wish to revisit, is a big head and really long skinny limbs. You know, an alien. I don't remember why I wanted to know.

veni veni veni posted:Wait wait and prairie home companion are the soundtrack in hell. I like Wait Wait in small doses, though I could do without Paula Poundstone. And I like some parts of Praire Home Companion. Guy Noir and the Ketchup commercials anyway, and the intro. But the musical bits yeah that could get pretty grating pretty fast.

kickascii posted:On a recent radiolab one of the hosts used an expression I've never heard before. They were talking about analyzing Albert Einstein's brain, and considered the possibility that maybe his brain had something unusual or unique about it and that could have affected his intelligence. Confronted with this possibility, the host said that it "made him feel itchy." I'm not 100% sure how to engage this post? I've felt a sensation akin to itchiness but not associated with any particular are of my body, rather un-localized. Maybe It's a NorthWest thing? Also isn't there unusual stuff about Einsteins brain? I vaguely recall seeing something ~35 years ago (on PBS of course) about them actually studying his brain and it had really tightly whorled neurons or something.

Play posted:Heard someone on NPR just now (an American) pronounce disavowed as DIS uh VOAD. A bunch of people are probably about to tell me that's a legitimate pronunciation but I've never heard that before, wtf is that poo poo That sounds like maybe a thick Maryland accent? But no I'm not aware of that being a commonly used pronunciation, but English is such a hosed-up language.

Skypie posted:Nina Totenberg had a pretty long remembrance segment yesterday evening at least. You could tell it was hitting her hard, her voice cracked a bunch. They covered her death-like over and over and over again, that guy has to be trolling.
