[Kzyxtalk] La morte ha fatto l'uovo.

[Marco McClean]

Subject: La morte ha fatto l'uovo.

/"Married couple Anna (Gina Lollobrigida, R.I.P.) and Marco (Jean-Louis 
Trintignant, also R.I.P.) run a hi-tech automated poultry farm, breeding 
boneless chickens. Unbeknownst to Anna, Marco is a serial killer, who 
lures prostitutes to motel rooms before stabbing them. The arrival of 
Anna's cousin Gabri (Ewa Aulin) further fragments the troubled marriage, 
as she and Marco begin an affair and conspire to run away together. 
However, Gabri is actually plotting with her husband Mondaini (Jean 
Sobieski) to kill Anna and frame Marco, as they have discovered Marco's 
secret. When Marco discovers Anna's body in his hotel room, he cleans 
the crime scene and takes the body back to the farm to dispose of it. 
What Gabri and Mondaini do not know is that Marco's fixation is not with 
killing prostitutes, but simply hiring them to role-play murders, 
letting them go safely and handsomely paid. At the farm, Marco falls 
into a machine used to grind chicken feed in which he was trying to 
dispose of Anna's body. When the police arrive, having responded to the 
murder at the hotel and then coming to the farm to investigate Marco's 
alleged activities, the police focus their attention on Gabri, 
suspecting her of committing the murder out of sibling jealousy. Gabri 
and Mondaini are eventually arrested for Anna's murder, as the farm 
chickens feed on Marco's ground corpse." -Wikipedia/

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-01-20) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show* on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org:

Here's a link to my dream journal project that I add to at random every 
week or so. I'd like to read /your/ dreams on the radio and I always 
offer to. Just email me.* Or include them in a reply to this post. Or 
send me a link to your dream journal and I'll make a note to go there 
and check for updates.

Also, about the above recording, because of all the complications and 
oddnesses of this week I noticed at the last instant that my show file 
had enough material in it to take two more hours to read than there was 
time available. I had compulsively amassed way too much. So I used my 
trick for that, which is to brutally jettison (until next week) the 
longest pieces first, and the longest piece was by Paul Modic so, Paul, 
next week, for sure. And I got Louis Bedrock and Clifford Allen Sanders 
mixed up together in my mind, so I think I might have declared that 
Louis Bedrock is in his 90s, when that's not right. Other than that, 
it's a pretty coherent show.

Besides that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh 
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together. 
Such as:

Willowmere, Drumthwacket, Il Paradiso, some real names for some real 
pretty places that won't look anything like this anymore. It's probably 
all Walmarts and freeway cloverleafs now. Cloverleaves?

This is a story about Frank Whittle, arguably the greatest aero-engineer 
of the twentieth century, and about the turbojet engine, which he 
invented in 1931, before there were materials suitable to make it work, 
and which the British patent office unwittingly gave to the Nazis 
/almost/ (but not quite) in time for them to win the war with it. 
"People in the area hadn't heard that particular kind of noise before. 
You couldn't really hide it, however secret it was supposed to be. One 
officer said, 'How does that thing work, John?' And John replied, 'Oh, 
it's easy, old boy, it just sucks itself along like a hoover.'"

"Meanwhile an evil caricature of a crazy scientist in a boat lab is 
trying to crossbreed a fish and a human to make a new kind of underwater 
creature. He needs athletic subjects for this, so he kidnaps exclusively 
wrestlers." Video catalog of worldwide Batpersons, and companion catalog 
of exotic Spidermen. With great power comes great responsibility.
