Question #1 - Robert Johnson ()[edit]
I'm teasing a bit here... But how can you skip Robert Johnson??? The Father of the Blues... The man who made a deal with the devil at the crossroads! It's a great story. He supposedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his ability to play the blues. I tell you what, the blues get no respect (in my best Rodney Dangerfield voice). FYI, you are all brilliant and I truly enjoy every week when I get to listen to your thoughts, insights, and discussions. Keep up the amazing work and I hope to meet you all next year at TAM. Be well, Blake Purnell Kirkland, WA More follow up: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b012x12m
Science or Fiction ()[edit]
Item #1: A study of 9th-11th graders finds that, when asked how they would like to be contacted with health information, the majority chose either Facebook or texting over traditional methods. Item #2: New research finds that having the ending of a movie or book spoiled by knowing the plot, even for mysteries, increases rather than decreases enjoyment. Item #3: DNA analysis indicates that modern humans derive about 4% of their DNA from Neanderthals, including some gene variants associated with improved immune function.
Skeptical Quote of the Week ()[edit]
'And when we die our empty bodies turn to dust/There'll be no pit of fire/No angels singing songs for us/There's nothing we can say that people won't forget some day/There's nothing we can do that matters/And that's okay' From The Future by The Limousines.
