Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from how Stuff
Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind.
Speaker 1: My name is Robert Lamb and Julie Douglas. You know,
Speaker 1: we hear a lot of wonderful feedback from you listeners,
Speaker 1: and sadly we don't always have the time to h
Speaker 1: to call the robot up to the desk and actually
Speaker 1: go through any of it. Um in part because we're
Speaker 1: increasingly busy with the with the stuff to la your
Speaker 1: Mind thing, in part because of ice storms crippling the
Speaker 1: city and what have you. But uh so, once again
Speaker 1: we wanted to take an opportunity to devote one episode
Speaker 1: it just uh conversing with you the listeners, uh, you
Speaker 1: the readers, etcetera, and uh and and sharing some of
Speaker 1: your thoughts on topics that we've we've recently touched on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's about high time that we got our house
Speaker 1: in order, and we have a bevy of feedback that
Speaker 1: we want to read because we think it's really interesting.
Speaker 1: And uh, what should we check it off with. We
Speaker 1: have a couple of themes. Oh well, I really like
Speaker 1: this one on reincarnation. So let's call the robot over
Speaker 1: and I'll read you what John had to say. John says,
Speaker 1: I listened with interest to your recent thoughts on reincarnation
Speaker 1: and I always struck with the thought that the idea
Speaker 1: example of reincarnation with persisting memories of a past life
Speaker 1: would be the Dali Lama. I think, uh, maybe to
Speaker 1: be corrected, that when a Lama dies, the search for
Speaker 1: the child who contains the spirit of leader begins and
Speaker 1: there are tests to prove that they have found the
Speaker 1: correct youth. I think these include tests check for signs
Speaker 1: of a reincarnated spirit. Uh. Does anyone know of this?
Speaker 1: And I'll take a break and say, yes, this is
Speaker 1: actually the Dali Lama. Uh situation is a is a
Speaker 1: really excellent example of of reincarnation worldview in effect. And
Speaker 1: uh and and to the point where we really should
Speaker 1: have mentioned it in the podcast because it's so strong. Um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: John continues, Um, I don't know where I read this.
Speaker 1: I also enjoyed your recent podcast about Stone Hinge, as
Speaker 1: I have visited this in other monuments in England as
Speaker 1: that is where I live. I prefer Avebury Circle as
Speaker 1: it is large in diameter, if not in size of stones,
Speaker 1: and the different rings and ditches that even encompass the
Speaker 1: village and their position in relation to other barrows and
Speaker 1: earthworks locally, give a much more impressive vision than of
Speaker 1: those who devised and built these monuments. At a bury,
Speaker 1: you can get amongst the stones and walk the ditches,
Speaker 1: allowing a more connected feeling with the whole area. These
Speaker 1: monuments need to be seen topographically to really impress with
Speaker 1: the relation to the land and what else it contains.
Speaker 1: Simply looking at a picture only gives you a very
Speaker 1: small part of what they are. Thanks for keeping my
Speaker 1: truck driving night full of interesting thoughts. Look forward to
Speaker 1: future shows. John. All right, Well, so that first part
Speaker 1: about the Dalai Lama. I do remember seeing a film
Speaker 1: in which I believe Kiana reeves start. Do you know
Speaker 1: which one I'm from? New MATRIXI Lama? Uh No? In
Speaker 1: it documented um the search for the Llama, and they
Speaker 1: were giving him some of the test. Do you recall
Speaker 1: any test? Third, administer, I I do not. I remember
Speaker 1: seeing the documentaries, uh one document in particular about the
Speaker 1: about looking for the Llama, looking for the chosen youth
Speaker 1: that would would have the spirit of Vallama. But but
Speaker 1: I don't recall the details of it. Offhand and in
Speaker 1: terms of the Stonehenge information that John had given us,
Speaker 1: which was really great. I wanted to read an email
Speaker 1: from Diane who says I love the Stonehenge episodes because
Speaker 1: they reminded me of a project I did when I
Speaker 1: was in fourth grade. I had a great teacher who
Speaker 1: did a Stonehenge project where we created stones out of
Speaker 1: modeling clay and then had to transport them one by
Speaker 1: one across the table by rolling them on pencils. Once
Speaker 1: the stone was off the last pencil, it was moved
Speaker 1: to the front and repeat across the table. There was
Speaker 1: time consuming, but fun. It was a cool project to
Speaker 1: show what sort of work went into cutting and transporting
Speaker 1: the stones. Stuck with me for twenty years. What a
Speaker 1: great project for for kids to do, I think. Um.
Speaker 1: She says she's been a long time fan and she's
Speaker 1: been meaning to write and suggest a future show, And
Speaker 1: she said that she became involved with a nonprofit called
Speaker 1: the Cancer Research Institute, and she said that cancer immunotherapy
Speaker 1: is a cool field of research and treatment for cancer
Speaker 1: that uses the immune system to fight cancer and has
Speaker 1: really started to take off in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: So she suggested that as an episode and that seems
Speaker 1: like great fertile terrain for us, and I appreciate your
Speaker 1: suggestion there, Diane. Yeah, yeah, we we could stand to
Speaker 1: do a few more sort of health centric episodes in
Speaker 1: the future. UM. Space is another area I want to
Speaker 1: get back to. So if anyone out there has specific
Speaker 1: requests for space related stuff to blow your mind content, uh,
Speaker 1: do hit us up with those those suggestions, because sometimes
Speaker 1: it's kind of difficult looking at at space, so looking
Speaker 1: at health because I feel like we stuffed to bow
Speaker 1: your mind. We we kind of have that caveat that
Speaker 1: it needs to it needs to really like shake you,
Speaker 1: it needs to really awe you in some way a perform.
Speaker 1: But so if you have any ideas that might lead
Speaker 1: to a sober stone or moments did you with space,
Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah. Alright, here's another a bit of
Speaker 1: listener mail, Thank you Robot. This one comes to us
Speaker 1: from Tracy. Tracy says, I absolutely love your podcast. I
Speaker 1: love your topics, but almost more than that, I love
Speaker 1: your chemistry. You play off each other really well and
Speaker 1: your interaction never slides into corny banter. I love your
Speaker 1: inventive metaphors. Uh, the intensive research you do is evident
Speaker 1: from your solid grasp of the information you present. You
Speaker 1: rarely stumble in your knowledge. And to top it all off,
Speaker 1: both have voices made for radio with no annoying vocal kicks.
Speaker 1: You post nothing but fascinating articles on your Facebook page.
Speaker 1: You kick, But I just wanted you to know you
Speaker 1: have a huge fan in Miami. If you ever find
Speaker 1: yourself in South Florida, I hope Miami's Vice City Rollers,
Speaker 1: the roller Derby team I volunteer with, is playing. I'll
Speaker 1: give you comp tickets. Well, thank you, Tracy. Indeed, if
Speaker 1: we're ever in the in in South Florida, we may
Speaker 1: have to look you up. Indeed we will. And that
Speaker 1: just minded me of the Roller Derby Microbiome episode we
Speaker 1: did in which they looked at Rolling Derby teams and
Speaker 1: how they are swapping microbiomes and how interesting that is
Speaker 1: and tracing that's really kind. Um. I do have to
Speaker 1: say that I think that both of us have a
Speaker 1: couple of malapropisms in which we butcher language, and that
Speaker 1: is an episode which will be forthcoming at some point,
Speaker 1: because it's really interesting about how your brain that listens
Speaker 1: in your brain that is anticipating speech. They have to
Speaker 1: work in tandem, and a lot of these malapropisms um
Speaker 1: result from that sort of little disconnects that happened when
Speaker 1: they're trying to do this bifurcated action. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think I've said before I feel like I have very
Speaker 1: much have a writer reader brain and uh and therefore
Speaker 1: when I'm speaking, I often fall into various traps. I
Speaker 1: guess I've gotten better at it over the years, but
Speaker 1: still not all the traps have been marked and and eliminated. Alright.
Speaker 1: The next one comes from Richard, and he says, I
Speaker 1: love stuff to play your mind. I listen while working
Speaker 1: out at the gym, and as a high school science teacher,
Speaker 1: I enjoy bringing the program into my classroom. Good job,
Speaker 1: and thank you. I fear you may be incorrect on hibernation. Uh,
Speaker 1: I belause there's an episode of republished episode in January
Speaker 1: that he's referring to. He says, let me do this
Speaker 1: in two parts. Your recent discussion of hibernation violates a
Speaker 1: basic principle of physics and engineering, the law of squares
Speaker 1: and cubes, less formally, the relationship of surface area to volume.
Speaker 1: This universal principle deserves a separate treatment on your program,
Speaker 1: and to make it less technical in more podcast friendly,
Speaker 1: I bring to your attention that virtually all monster movies
Speaker 1: get it wrong. For a summary of why, read the
Speaker 1: great biologist JB. S. Haldane's essay on being the right size.
Speaker 1: The law of squares and cubes can explain numerous physical
Speaker 1: and biological phenomena. This brings us to point to While
Speaker 1: it is true that ground squirrels can reduce their core
Speaker 1: temperature sufficiently to go into a state of suspended animation,
Speaker 1: larger animals like bears may lower their set points slightly,
Speaker 1: but cannot radate enough body heat to get a truly
Speaker 1: suspended state. They're easily aroused even during winter rest, although
Speaker 1: I do not suggest you try the experiment for rather
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. By the way, you can extend this analysis
Speaker 1: to demonstrate that large dinosaurs probably approached warm bloodedness even
Speaker 1: without internal constancy. If you want to get summary on
Speaker 1: the issue and it's specific relations hybernation, there's a helpful
Speaker 1: lecture by Steven Stearns from his Yale course on evolution
Speaker 1: in Ecology. So I just want to say thank you
Speaker 1: Richard so much. UM. I do think that that probably
Speaker 1: deserves its own upcoming episode, because we'd like to get
Speaker 1: into this topic a lot. Hibernation, suspended animation, What we
Speaker 1: can learn from hibernation, how we could apply it to humans,
Speaker 1: either through emergency situations or even through space travel. Now,
Speaker 1: I know that we have discussed the morphological limits of
Speaker 1: gigantism before, particularly in terms of of say, Godzilla and
Speaker 1: King Kom, Barbie and Barbie. Yes, that was a separate,
Speaker 1: separate episode, but but we have touched on those topics before.
Speaker 1: All right, we can take a quick breaking when we
Speaker 1: come back, more listener mail on a number of fascinating topics. Alright,
Speaker 1: we're back. Let's take some more feedback and then get
Speaker 1: into it. All right, This one comes to us from Valerie.
Speaker 1: Valerie says, I just finished up your episode on Night Janitors.
Speaker 1: It made me feel much less lame for needing nine
Speaker 1: hours of sleep to feel good. Now, I have always
Speaker 1: fallen asleep anywhere if I am tired, in loud rooms,
Speaker 1: standing up in a boat, and other odd of places.
Speaker 1: Whenever I do anything that would loosen my inhibitions, like drink,
Speaker 1: all I want to do is take a nap. Turns
Speaker 1: out most of my inhibitions are how inappropriate it is
Speaker 1: to sleep all the time. From now on, I am
Speaker 1: going to imagine I have very demanding night janitors and
Speaker 1: we are waiting at the doors, being like, can you
Speaker 1: hurry up? And there we have a job to do,
Speaker 1: ready to take advantage of my weakened state to start
Speaker 1: work early. Also, I was wondering if there is anything
Speaker 1: to this idea of animals getting a taste for humans.
Speaker 1: I feel like I hear that all the time. I
Speaker 1: wonder if it is like when I finally have a
Speaker 1: chance to try something and it's especially tasty, like when
Speaker 1: I got a taste for star fruit. I also think
Speaker 1: about one group of orcas it was on a documentary
Speaker 1: I watched that were really into sea urchins, even though
Speaker 1: they're much harder to eat and harder to get than
Speaker 1: other food. Could we be a delicacy of the animal world.
Speaker 1: I thought it might be interesting to hear a podcast
Speaker 1: on animals becoming man eaters after getting that first taste.
Speaker 1: Warm regards Valerie in Austin, Texas, PS, you guys are great.
Speaker 1: Well now I want to do an episode on man eaters.
Speaker 1: That sounds perfect Well, you know, I thought this is
Speaker 1: so timely because the other night, my daughter asked, she
Speaker 1: gets to ask one question before she goes to bed,
Speaker 1: and that's her way to She's always trying to distract
Speaker 1: us from actually getting her to sleep. So that's the
Speaker 1: way that we try to manage that. And so her
Speaker 1: question was to do alligators to eat people? And so
Speaker 1: my answer was because I tried to be as as
Speaker 1: honest as possible without like going into some weird territory,
Speaker 1: and I said, well, no they don't, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: it has had been by accident. And then that was
Speaker 1: so I shouldn't have even said that, because then she
Speaker 1: was like, when who what happened? And I thought, oh, man,
Speaker 1: that's it's true. It's it has happened by accident and
Speaker 1: sometimes um, people have been in the wrong place at
Speaker 1: the wrong time. And she went on to ask like,
Speaker 1: do you think the alligators like the taste of humans? Well,
Speaker 1: there you go. I think we'll definitely have to do
Speaker 1: an episode on that. And I also have to say
Speaker 1: that we were dangerously close to talking about cannibalism. I
Speaker 1: just felt it. I felt like, the next question is
Speaker 1: going to be the keetmans eat other humans. So you're
Speaker 1: just completely low on energy right at that time. That's
Speaker 1: when she starts throwing out questions about cannibalism and yeah,
Speaker 1: what why do people kill each other? Why do people
Speaker 1: don't I mean this? Yeah, she throws out the heavy stuff.
Speaker 1: We have another email here from Kevin and he's talking
Speaker 1: about the Night Janitors, which is again this episode that
Speaker 1: dealt with this idea of all these toxic by products
Speaker 1: that our brains make and how do we usher them
Speaker 1: out of our system? Um. That has long been a mystery,
Speaker 1: but we have new information that this happens when we sleep,
Speaker 1: and only when we sleep. Um. Kevin says, I have
Speaker 1: an interesting study I conducted last semester on my own.
Speaker 1: I was nineteen at the time. I read about polyphasic sleeping,
Speaker 1: where you can reduce average sleep to minimal hours, sometimes
Speaker 1: to a day. I try to and reduce my average
Speaker 1: from about eight hours to five hours. For thirty consecutive days,
Speaker 1: I would do three and a half hours at night
Speaker 1: and three equally spaced naps during the day. During this time,
Speaker 1: I had lucid dreams the first time, which I still
Speaker 1: seldom have to this day, and had felt a new
Speaker 1: feeling of euphorium. Midway through. I found it was very well, possible,
Speaker 1: but I stopped with my neighbor, who participated in twelve
Speaker 1: actual sleep studies, said I was adapting to become and insomniac.
Speaker 1: This leads me to question whether we can adapt to
Speaker 1: a large amount of waste in our brains, or does
Speaker 1: maybe the night janitor become more efficient. Good question. Also,
Speaker 1: thank you for your exciting and inform national discussions. They
Speaker 1: have changed my intellectual life for the better. Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 1: All right, well here's another little bit on sleep. This
Speaker 1: one comes to us from Ann and says Dear Julian Robert.
Speaker 1: During college, I had a lot of trouble with insomnia.
Speaker 1: I was prescribed ambien my senior year. I made the
Speaker 1: mistake multiple times of taking it but not immediately lying
Speaker 1: down and going to bed, which is recommended. This led
Speaker 1: to some interesting Internet comments. The biggest problem I had
Speaker 1: was sleep cooking. I didn't just sleep eat whatever snacks
Speaker 1: were in my apartment. I somehow felt they need to
Speaker 1: make ramen noodles or spaghettios, or on one scary occasion,
Speaker 1: to cook a full meal of pasta. I boiled a
Speaker 1: pot of water, cooked the noodles, cooked, the sauce, drained,
Speaker 1: the pasta, poured the pasta and sauce onto a plate,
Speaker 1: covered them with parmesan cheese, ate the whole plate of food,
Speaker 1: and then and then left the empty plate on the
Speaker 1: floor upy my bed. I woke up next morning boggled
Speaker 1: by the plate. I am relieved to say I never
Speaker 1: left the stove hunt. I quit taking Ambien and several
Speaker 1: years later quit drinking entirely. Sobriety has had a huge
Speaker 1: impact on my sleep quality and worked much better than
Speaker 1: ambient for me. I learned that while alcohol can make
Speaker 1: you fall asleep pass out, the sleep you get isn't
Speaker 1: RESTful or restorative sleep or reduces rim sleep. But people
Speaker 1: often think they're sleeping better because they fall asleep sooner.
Speaker 1: All my best and thanks, and yeah, I have to
Speaker 1: second that since I quit drinking year and a half
Speaker 1: nearing two years ago, I will say that my sleep
Speaker 1: has been so much better and now I'm hungry for it.
Speaker 1: Played a spaghetti. Yeah, it's uh We mentioned uh am
Speaker 1: bien before, and it's the effects it sometimes has on people.
Speaker 1: I do want to want to go ahead and throw
Speaker 1: out though that if you know, let let your doctor,
Speaker 1: your trusted doctor, advise you on what you should and
Speaker 1: shouldn't take and use that as your sort of call
Speaker 1: point rather than, you know, any kind of horror stories
Speaker 1: you've heard about one medication or another. Well, yeah, because
Speaker 1: some things can affect another person in entirely different ways.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because I've encountered people before who desperately needed
Speaker 1: some help sleeping, at least for like a small portion
Speaker 1: of their time. And uh, and they were scared to
Speaker 1: even try some thing because they'd heard somebody knew somebody
Speaker 1: who had heard about somebody who you know, ate a
Speaker 1: bunch of cigarettes while on ambient or something. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and if you've ever suffered from insomnia and you know
Speaker 1: that point in the night where are like, man, I
Speaker 1: wish someone would just hit me over the head with
Speaker 1: a pan and knock me out, you know that that's
Speaker 1: when you're in a desperate place and you need some help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So anyway, thanks for sharing that with the sand all right.
Speaker 1: The next one has to do with leeches. We recently
Speaker 1: did a podcast episode about leeches and how they've sort
Speaker 1: of redeemed themselves in the medical community. And this is
Speaker 1: from Ashley. She says, I recently listened to the podcast
Speaker 1: about leeches. I thought you might be interested in my
Speaker 1: experience with them. I'm a veterinary technician at a large
Speaker 1: specialty veterinary practice and we currently have a small colony
Speaker 1: of leeches that are being used to treat a couple
Speaker 1: of feline patients. These two kitties have a condition called
Speaker 1: polyspthemia vera, in which their bodies make too many red
Speaker 1: blood cells. This results in very thick, sludgy blood that
Speaker 1: can lead to seizures, a taxia, blindness, and other neurological symptoms.
Speaker 1: There are men occasions that decreased red blood cell production,
Speaker 1: but the side effects aren't good. One other treatment is
Speaker 1: blood letting every week, but one of these cats is
Speaker 1: not very friendly, which makes drawing a large amount of
Speaker 1: blood from her very difficult and stressful for her and
Speaker 1: imagine others. Um There's only one study and one cat
Speaker 1: that leeches have been used on for this condition, but
Speaker 1: our doctors decided to give it a try. The cat
Speaker 1: can sit in the owner's lap and have leeches feed
Speaker 1: for about thirty minutes, can go home. Both cats have
Speaker 1: had multiple treatments, are and are doing very well. So
Speaker 1: it looks like our leech experiment is a success. Thank you.
Speaker 1: For reading. Ashley ps. We keep our leeches and fish
Speaker 1: bowls on a shelf. We learned the hard way that
Speaker 1: the bowls need to be covered more than once leeches
Speaker 1: rained down on the person using the computer below the
Speaker 1: shelf they were housed on. That's a little bit nightmaric.
Speaker 1: Just to create a new word. Alright, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: wind up here with two quick ones. This one comes
Speaker 1: to us from Annie in New Orleans. Any He shares
Speaker 1: of her experiences with dentist dread and dental anxiety, which
Speaker 1: we talked about in an episode. But then she closes
Speaker 1: out and says, I listened to a lot of house
Speaker 1: Stoworks podcasts, and I love them all for different reasons,
Speaker 1: but I've almost started thinking of yours. This my mental
Speaker 1: health cast. I developed some slightly debilitating anxiety and depression
Speaker 1: problems this last year. For example, my fracture teeth were
Speaker 1: very likely caused by clenching my teeth in my sleep.
Speaker 1: After my crowns are in my dentist is going to
Speaker 1: make a mouth guard to sleep with. Because if your
Speaker 1: many informative episodes surrounding anxiety, I've decided to seek out
Speaker 1: professional help. In addition to trying things like meditation to
Speaker 1: quiet the constant screeching of my default mode network. I'm
Speaker 1: feeling more hopeful for my future happiness than I have
Speaker 1: in as long as I can remember. You guys are great. Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's very good to hear. For First, I want
Speaker 1: to say mouth guard. I myself were a mouth guard
Speaker 1: when I sleep every night, and it's made a lot
Speaker 1: of difference for me. So UM, definitely stick with that
Speaker 1: as much as you'll want to spit it out at times.
Speaker 1: Uh and uh and and kudos for seeking, you know,
Speaker 1: professional help to help balance things out. I think that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's often the bravest uh and at times
Speaker 1: the hardest thing you have to do for yourself is
Speaker 1: is saying, yes, I'm gonna actually see somebody about this. Indeed,
Speaker 1: and you know, I've said this several times, but the
Speaker 1: episodes that we've covered the topics, a lot of times
Speaker 1: I find myself turning to some of the things that
Speaker 1: that do help. UM. And that was interesting that she
Speaker 1: brought up the default mode network, because I really think
Speaker 1: that that is sometimes the problem with with a lot
Speaker 1: of what ails me is just kind of quiet that
Speaker 1: part of the mind and there's so many different ways
Speaker 1: to get to that point. Indeed, indeed, all right, here's
Speaker 1: the last one here. This one comes to it from
Speaker 1: Ashley actually says, Hi, Robert and Julie, I'm listening to
Speaker 1: some of your older podcast via iTunes and came across
Speaker 1: Lucid Dreams. During the cast, you mentioned some sences not
Speaker 1: being activated during dreams, and the food isn't usually a
Speaker 1: part of lucid dreams because the taste isn't active. Well,
Speaker 1: I had a very unusual dream of law back where
Speaker 1: I was an intergalactic social mixer. I had a conversation
Speaker 1: at the bar with a green, jellowish male and drank
Speaker 1: the most perfect glass of pineapple juice. I've also had
Speaker 1: a recurring dream where I am at a family reunion
Speaker 1: type gathering with my children. At some point I fall
Speaker 1: out of favor with my family and they want to
Speaker 1: have me committed and take out custody on my children.
Speaker 1: At this point, I take flight like a bird, not superman.
Speaker 1: Think of the We Fit chicken game where you flap
Speaker 1: your arms to fly. I've been having this dream on
Speaker 1: and off since two thousand two, prior to We Fit,
Speaker 1: so I don't know why or where this dream came from. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's it. Thanks for keeping me company while I work,
Speaker 1: study and take mom breaks. I put myself in a
Speaker 1: time out. I love you much, Ashley. Oh, thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Ashley. I really would like to have a
Speaker 1: lucid dream about food now, Yes, I as well, because
Speaker 1: I don't think I can remember an instance where I
Speaker 1: had like a very taste uh centric dream. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: just to be able to experience that in a lucid
Speaker 1: way might be pretty amazing. I don't know. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put me to like some sort of sprig of basil
Speaker 1: in my mouth before I get a sleep, yeah it,
Speaker 1: or you know, or have someone else like stick basil
Speaker 1: in your mouth on your sleep to trigger it. That
Speaker 1: would be perfectly normal. Yeah. All right, So there you go.
Speaker 1: We've managed to catch up a little bit on our
Speaker 1: listener mail. You guys and gals are always sharing such
Speaker 1: wonderful thoughts with us about the topics that we cover.
Speaker 1: You have wonderful suggestions for future episodes, and we just
Speaker 1: wanted to again take take time once more. You just
Speaker 1: go through some of these listener mail catch up, and
Speaker 1: then start brush to some new episodes. The next week.
Speaker 1: All right, So you want to get in touch with us,
Speaker 1: you want to get in on this, well, you can
Speaker 1: find us in a number of places. Stuff to Blow
Speaker 1: Your Mind dot Com is our main homepage, and that's

Speaker 1: and I have toiled away on. In fact, I probably
Speaker 1: have the most jacked up Marilyn Monroe wig that has
Speaker 1: ever existed in one of those videos, and you can
Speaker 1: check that out at My Stuff Show at YouTube. In
