Filed under: audio | Tags: Avril Lavigne, eBay, Harry Potter, Minnnesota, podcast, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Star Wars, The Shames, Tom Petty, Wesley WillisAugust 2nd, 2007
In this episode, we talk about the bridge collapse in Minnesota. Then we talk about a $4,000 action figure sold on eBay. Jen provides a re-cap of her night in Harry Potter hell and then we finish things up by comparing sound-alike songs.

At first i thought you made up the term “heat saturation” while talkin’ about the collapse of the Twin Cities bridge, but it turns out you didn’t. Check this out, Einstein
“Heat Saturation Time of Solid Spherical Regenerator of HTAC
LU;Qing-heng;CHENG;Su-sen;YANG;Tian-jun
Abstract:
In order to control the heat saturation time, the temperature field of the regenerators of high temperature air combustion （HTAC） technology after reheating furnace was studied. A one-dimensional unsteady mathematical model was established and discretized through finite difference method. The relationship between the heat saturation time and some factors was determined through the calculation of a program developed by language C. The heat saturation time decreases with the increase of heat convection coefficient, however, the increase of heat capacity, density and radius of regenerator all increase the heat saturation time approximately linearly.[著者文摘]
Key words:
solid spherical regenerator; heat saturation time; mathematical model”

Yeah, I can totally recite the laws of HTAC right off the top of my head. Srsly.

Your British pronounciation is terrible, we don’t talk like that, even with a stiff upper lip!!!
I just found out the BBC has a pronunciation unit blog
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/pronunciation_unit/
and a book
http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-BBC-Guide-Pronunciation-essential/dp/0192807102
BTW: You scooped the BBC and the London papers on the bridge collapse story!

And there’s still room for sodomy. Amazing!
