"If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library" -Frank Zappa An "official degree" is not a guarantee or proof of intelligence. Frank Zappa was one of the smartest men of the century without a doubt.

I love how he has all these disclaimers and footnote kind of things at the start of his speech, it sounds all technical then after that's out of the way he immediately calls the plan an ill-conceived piece of nonsense. Funny shift in tone.

Frank Zappa happened to be a genius, he had proposed the idea of direct digital transfer of media through phone lines in 1986, which may sound familiar if you happen to use something called the itunes store. Watch a few more of his interviews before you judge the guy, he was brilliant.

I'm a plumber; The theory of relativity states that measurements are affected by the velocity of the observer, and that space and time must be considered together because the Earth is constantly in motion as it turns on its axis and orbits through space , which causes a dilation of time, so we use the non variable speed of light as a constant because it's the same for anyone who observes it anywhere. I also fix heaters/AC's and install bathroom fixtures at competitive rates.

@OneQuest1 The Parental Advisory stamp isn't put on by the government. It's a totally separate, private system the music industry uses to regulate itself. The movie and video games industries work the same way. The US federal government has no right, and does not, tell you what is "good" or "bad" when it comes to entertainment.
