Don't listen to this at work unless it's all right for you to be LOLing at your desk.

tells us about the nature of reality
-
Three groups of cicadas have emerged together this year for the first time
since the fall of the Roman Empire. The reason is pure mathematics.

Thank you, friend who is a girl.
Heh.
That can't be a real interview. Can it?
Hilarious.
Mel -- one of the commenters down the bottom claims that Garry Trudeau wrote the whole thing for Time Magazine. He is certainly capable of writing it himself, as are, of course, French and Saunders -- though the way they're laughing suggests that someone else wrote it, whether it really is a five-times-regressed translation or not. My experience of the instructions on gadgets and DIY furniture that I've struggled with over the years suggests to me that it could easily be genuine, though.
In any case, it's fabulous, and I'm sure BB thought I was dangerously close to going mad from the LOLs happening while I was listening to it (which means he'll be extra sweet to me this evening, win-win), so thanks for sharing!
Hee hee!
Thanks for posting that. It made my day.
It occurs to me belatedly that a test mouse is a lab rat.
My mate Lester has a ska band called The Labrats, Kerryn. I think it dates back to his days at uni as a trainee life scientist.
Gem after gem, too many to list! Though my favourites are:
"My career highway"
"Budapest says hello with arms that are spreadeagled" !!
"Are you in good odour?"
and particularly the concept of 'dating in bed'.
Hilarious! You can see how a translation or three could get here, just try a sentences through a few languages on Google Translator...

Made all the better by the lovely F & S and their giggles!
