John Hodgeman And Robert Siegel Consider 'All' Things, Some Of Them Rather Dubious
"Rejoice and be glad, therefore, that today's ATC brings you a Siegel interview with John Hodgman, who joins us to share selected tidbits of wisdom from That Is All — the third and last in his trilogy of eccentric almanacs. Unexpected truths, none of them especially self-evident, that are contained therein:
- On September 18th, 2012, the people of Madison, Wisc., will take a vow of no-cannibalism. It will last seven days.
- In Korea, it is common to give glass figurines as gifts — especially figurines of Vincent D'Onofrio, the Koreans' favorite actor.
- When SCUBA does not stand for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing American, it stands for Southern Cuba Un-Communist Business Association."
"Strange facts, and unsettling to the conventional wisdom. Also utterly bogus, of course."
