SUMMARY OF TALK
The whole talk was a spoof. Brandon was raised in Stamford, Ct. and did a bachelor’s in CT. and a masters at Boston U. He is the former lead anchor for the Onion.com. He has challenged the heads of the auto industry to reveal their plans for flying cars. Anyway, almost all journalists lie by adding unproven facts. He, Brandon, was in the Cairo museum inner sanctum and brought back what appeared to be an old
summary on parchment paper in another language of a naked Adam and Eve, with a story from the Cairo press about a local woman whose first name began with Eve. He also defined “clothes.” He does not understand his son.
This Friday’s talk (tomorrow) is Cookstove Project Update by Mark Johnson.
