[Kzyxtalk] Boobs of Mona Lisa.

[Marco McClean]

"Never q-tip drunk. There's an old Chinese saying I saw in a movie: If 
you can still clean your ear with a toothpick, you're not drunk. That's 
terrifyingly bad advice. Up to that point I had thought the ancient 
Chinese were smarter than that. But nobody is smart when they're drunk. 
Everybody who is drunk is a big stupid baby with car keys and a gun."

The recording of last night's (2017-09-29) KNYO Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show is ready to download for free and enjoy at any time of 
the day or night, via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com

Besides that, as usual also there you'll find a fresh batch of links to 
other interesting and educational goods I collected for you while 
putting the show together, to add to the wonders and amusements already 
there, that might not necessarily work on the radio because of being 
mostly visual. Such as:

Some more aerial footage of Viet Nam. It makes it look like Heaven. 
Earth is Heaven. Imagine what someone who really suffered through the 
French and U.S. occupation and war there must think on seeing something 
like this. The music is /Becoming Human/ by Ryan Taubert. See how far 
you get into this before you start crying.

Help Greg Leyh build the world's largest Tesla coil (120 feet high!), 
and then another one just like it hundreds of feet away, and then shoot 
them at each other.

Why do our brains just accept film editing? That's a good question, and 
here’s a good answer.

And /Universe/. A 30-minute black-and-white film made in 1960 that’s 
still the best introduction to love of astronomy there is. It feels 
exactly like how I felt when I was a little boy visiting the Griffith 
Observatory. The feeling of space. Every great space film, from /2001: A 
Space Odyssey/ on up, borrowed from this. In fact, seeing this was what 
sparked Stanley Kubrick to make /A Space Odyssey/ in the first place.
