WHILE SOME OF US prefer our facts false, I cannot deny the occasional appeal, too, of actual truth.

ONE OF THE GREAT PRACTITIONERS of this rare art is JOHN LLOYD, aka @curiositwitty, aka the creator of QI (a television program that is too smart for you),

AND ITS RADIOPHONIC ADJUNCT, The Museum of Curiosity.

HERE IS JOHN LLOYD speaking on the subject of “INVISIBILITY” through a microphone that someone tried to make invisible, but failed.

(THIS HAPPENED AT TEDGlobal, in England, which is just like the regular TED but with slightly less Al Gore.)

That is all.
