This show is all backwards. We begin with the ending, and end with the beginning. So don’t get confused.
A huge argument stars with Amanda Steinstein over which celebrities have played the mentally disabled in movies. Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Billy Bob Thorton, Rosie O’Donnell, Cindy Williams- note the trend? Maybe they aren’t acting.

The search online for answers makes us all painfully aware on how difficult it still is to find accurate information, even with wikipedia, google, yahoo, imdb, and even on this show.

The highly debatable Wikipedia has been under the harsh glare of comedians this past week as both the Onion and the Colbert Report both attacked the open source dictionary for it’s sometimes overwhelming inaccuracies. Although Amanda and I both agree that Wikipeida can be a mess, it still very accurate (consider that the Encyclopedia Britannica is wrong as well)

Well at least they have spell checking. We dunt.

This whole debate draws attention to the fact that facts are usually determined by the people who state them, and can be wrong. Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Also on today’s show, science vs. republicans, living in the bronze age, and new hi-tech eggs that come fresh from the chicken’s butt to your mouth!

Pictured on the right is Marc Felion and myself, Fausto Fernós having a grand old time with the postcards. Who took the photo? Jason Smith, of course.

Warning- do not operate heavy machinery while listening to the Feast of Fools podcast. The results could be hilarious!

It was nioce it hear this ditty again!! Marc you are correct it was with Sean Cassidy.. ” I LOVE YOU ROGER”
This podcast is very funny, and Fausto’s impressions of the old famous celebs are just a hoot!! :-)

Kate (my partner/wife/special lady friend) just tells people that she’s married in Canada, and she’s big in Europe.

Sophie Calle made a series of photographs of single-color meals (I think she ate them, too). So although that mozzarella/mayo/sugar/wonderbread sandwich sounds revolting, your roommate was THIS CLOSE to being a hot contemporary French artist…

The funny thing is, i listened to this earlier today

Do you have a link to Sohie Calle’s work? I can’t find it anywhere.
