[Perdogg]

Science journalist and author Jo Marchant will discuss the century-long quest to understand the purpose of a mysterious Greek artifact buried beneath the sea for 2,000 years.

Oh, no, that passage was copied from Wikipedia. The [15] is not her age, it’s a reference note number. I don’t know what happened with his son, I haven’t listened to Art Bell in quite some time.

Thanks for clearing that up! Whew!

I swear I could tell from Art’s tone whether or not he believed the guest. I know many think he promoted/believed everyone he had on, I never thought that. Often he was having fun with outlandish guests or callers and yet he spoke like he believed it to egg them into saying more outlandish things. Used to crack me up. I took it as entertainment and darned good entertainment at that, I miss that man. I know many made fun of him, but I don’t think he cared- I’m sure he laughed every trip to the bank.

I might give it a listen, except for the fact it will be Punnet.

Love the way he asks questions, then cuts off the guest when they answer.
And his obvious religious biases...

Unless he has a really, really interesting guest who I want to hear, I don’t even bother to listen to his drivel.

wheels within wheels...

There are 82 remaining fragments of the mechanism that contain a total of 30 gears. The largest piece contains 27 of the gears. (Image copyright of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project). http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/

That’s not her age. It is a reference number from Wikipedia.

He did an interview with a researcher of the Kensington, MN, (sic) Rune. It was fascinating, IMO.

[uncitizen]

thx. i was advised of that already. big relief it was.

[djf]

Well, he did an interview with Stan Deyo, who is a survivalist and is perhaps a bit on the extreme edge.

Punnet shut him down, because a viewer called and said she was upset or something.

I lost almost all respect for Punnet that night. Why the hey invite someone on then shut them out? Just because you don’t like what they have to say??

[PghBaldy]

Sorry, I need to refresh page more. Best wishes.

[PghBaldy]

Fair enough. Best wishes.

[uncitizen]

no problem. i don’t always read all the posts before making a comment.

It was designed to do the extremely complex calculation of the sum total of all women Zeus had bedded.
