第73期 CDs+Beer=Science!

澳大利亚科学家卡梅伦·琼斯发明了种将啤酒和听CD结合在一起的新方法。琼斯发现：将啤酒倒在光盘上，放一个晚上晾干，之后光盘表面会生成一种真菌。这种真菌并不会损坏光盘，而是改变了光盘中的音乐。

This bizarre innovation is the brainchild of Cameron Jones, who as well as being a mathematician with the record of published research also owns a nightclub in Melbourne.Johnes told New Scientist that he came across the discovery quite by accident, when he was Djing in his bar.“I often change CDs when my hands are wet with beer,” he said, “One night I must have changed the CDs, touched the data surface.” The following week, he put on a CD by Nine inch Nails and found that it would not play properly because fungus had grown on it.But the fungus had not ruined the disc.The original audio sequerce was there, but it woubl sometimes change in pich and there were small staccato noises in the background.他问自己：“如果我刻意地在光盘上种上真菌，酵母或细菌会怎样呢？”

于是“酸奶光盘”便诞生了。

琼斯说，他在这种开创性的研究过程中尚未毁掉任何光盘或播放机，但是他也警告说，这个技术可能会毁了计算机上的CD播放机，因为软件应付不了这个。

第十四期 Mark Twain and the Old Man

马克吐温是美国著名的作家，他的作品《汤姆索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利 费恩历险记》深受广大读者的喜爱。她喜欢和别人开玩笑，不过有一次却把玩笑开到自己的身上。有一次，他到一个小镇演讲，午饭时他遇到一个年轻人并得知此人的叔叔从来不会发小或微笑

他就让这个年轻人在当天晚上来听他的演讲，并保证肯定会让他笑，结果如何呢？请听下面分解：

第74期 Spy satellites of a different sort

上班的时候，谁在监视你？你能相信卫星正在监视你吗？这正是加利福尼亚州奥克兰城市工人们所担心的。

Three years ago, sanitation department officials installed Global Positioning Satellite equipment in the city’s street sweepers to track where the machines are at any goren time.But sanitation employees are concerned that city managers aren’t gelling the workers why the information is being gathered or how it’s used.“I don’t know what they’re looking for or what they’re tryig to find.” Says one unidentified sanitation worker.But qakland city council president says they’re just making sure the city gets the maximum bang for its buck.“I think it’s our responsibility to make sure that people are doing what whey’re supposed to be doing.” Says he.“And if people see it as a slap n the face, I don’t see it that way.I see it all of us have to perform for the pay that we get.”

他还提出一项议案：将卫星监控扩大到更多城市工人的身上。然而，有一些人则认为市政厅盯错了人。一个未透露姓名的城市工人抱怨说：“要平衡预算，他们真正需要作的是盯着管理层。那才是花钱的大头。”
