Rich had a great laugh at 1 minute 16 seconds. haha keep up the great work – James the Cytogeneticist
Yes, that was an amazing laugh from Rich – I guess he was genuinely
amused by the notion that whatever we recorded on April 1 would be
true, nor at least not a joke.
I’m not quite sure what struck me as so funny about this, but it did. I guess I see the truth as pretty elusive and the idea that we have a firm grip on it is close to hilarious.
I just listened to it again. The idea that we were not going to tell any jokes was also hilarious. The perfect hilarity storm.
Yes, well It was awesome. Ill talk to you guys next week!
I think that in the Internet age, it is now considered that everyone can get “15 seconds” of fame, rather than the pop art age of Warhol. Couldn’t find references quickly, but I know I’ve heard it before.
