This week, it’s the printers that kill, hot reporter exposed at DefCon, and a disgraced South Korean scientist actually contributed to real science with his fake science. On BiB, the Hudson Elks Hot Air Baloon Festival, facial transplants at Brigham and Women’s, and the Sorrento Cheese Fishermen’s Fest.
Any comments or suggestions?

Am I the only one who got a wierd ass echo off of Carl’s voice when listening on head phones?
I ain’t listened to this gem yet, but I just wanted to drop in and say “I still listen”.
I haven’t commented in ages, but I still listen as devoutly as Colin buries religious idols. Wait… more devoutly than that. ;P
Huh? You listen upside-down, facing east?
No Remy, he’s ping ponging over here too. Sounds like Colin’s mic picked him up and it’s pissing me off. Sorry Karl
Exactly
It’s an artifact of the mp3 encoding. I was trying a differnet encoder. Sorry forthe annoyance. The offending encoder has been roundfiled.
Okay, the Korea thing did not go down exactly as Carl described. From what I’ve read on it and when things like this happen we talk about it in science a lot, there were lots of problems with the data he presented in his paper. He fudged several of the pieces of data in the figures and committed major fraud.
*Spoiler warning needed?*
At about minute 13 one of the Karls goes into the Harry Potter plot.
Agh!
I’m only on page 451!!
Now, the bit he talked about sounded surprisingly like Return of the Jedi so… I think it’s misinformation… but I had to turn off the podcast.
It’s August 12 and you’re only on page 451? Sheesh!
I’ve read it 3 times already, get with the program
