MiniQUIZ: True or False: to emphasize their noble blood, women of the court of Louis XVI drew blue veins on their necks and shoulders. (answer later)
MEDIA: "By presenting news and media as a clean, uncomplicated, top-down, inaccessible, linear, sound-bite continuum, public relations artists prevent individuals who have independent feelings from getting any positive feedback from the world around them. Dissidents must be made to feel that they are alone." - Media Virus- Douglas Rushkoff

SUMMER VACATION: How about a cruise on the biggest liner ever, the Voyager. If it was vertical, it would be the 5th tallest building in Manhattan: ice skating rink, largest roulette wheel anywhere, and largest casino at sea, 3-deck theater, floor to ceiling aquarium bar, 4-deck high mall, miniature golf, rock climbing wall, etc.
miniQUIZ answer: True ( National Geographic)
ENDER: "The father of an outstanding theater major at a large university made life almost unbearable through his insistence that his daughter give up her work on the stage and devote herself to something sensible and 'worth while.' Finally, the director of the theater was driven out of curiosity to ask "What does your father do for a living.?" The answer was "He works in a pickle factory."
