Bob Dylan 2016 Nobel Lecture in Literature

Dylan -- Blink Willie McTell in honor of Martin Scorsese

One of the great Dylan songs that he didn't think was good enough to put on an album!

Getting my Buzz on!

This was actually a 15 minute video, as that's about the amount of time that Buzz spoke once he got into the club. This is a short clip where I hijacked him and received a 'Hi' and a quick handshake (he probably hasn't washed his hand yet :-) ). I tried to get his attention again as he walked away to give him the Monteverde multi-function pen I'd brought with me as a gift (to commemorate his use of a pen to blast off from the Moon), but no luck. There really wasn't an opportunity for anyone to speak with him, so after a 2-hour drive to get there, I'm glad that I made myself obnoxious enough to get that 'Hi' and handshake. Besides thanking everyone for the honors given him during the day, he spent the majority of his short speech talking about his plans to get us to Mars.

I realize that we still have more than a week to go before the arrival of Halloween, but you'll need time to Zombie-proof your shed. Instructions below.

Chimp vs human! - Working Memory test

"Ayumu the chimpanzee has made headlines around the world for his ability to beat humans on memory tests, in both speed and accuracy. Does Ayumu's ability force us to reconsider our assumptions about human superiority to other primates?"

I've seen these experiments before. There are even apps where you can attempt to beat the scores and times of Chimpanzees (such as 'Ape Test'). Their cognitive abilities, i.e. 'intelligence', are clearly superior to homo sapiens in this particular area. But why? How does this ability benefit them in their natural habitat? I've yet to read of a convincing answer. As our favorite Vulcan would say, "Fascinating".

SPERM WHALES ADOPT DEFORMED DOLPHIN

"This video depicts a very rare interaction between sperm whales and an adult bottlenose dolphin with a spinal malformation (i.e. scoliosis). This represents the first time this type of non-agonistic (friendly) interaction has been recorded for sperm whales. We published a description of these interactions in the scientific journal "Aquatic Mammals"."
