Anyway, it’s now made it’s way to the show with zefrank. If you don’t want to wade through the book and the footnotes and the research you can get the whole message in about 90 seconds right here.

Hmm, interesting. I appreciate the precis. And I feel like a Neaderthal because I only learned about Ze like two weeks ago. He’s pretty happenin’.
