    That had to be the least useful thing I've watched in quite a while. And as rambling as it seemed, he appeared to keep looking at his notes just to the right of the camera. Wonder what those notes said?

    Maybe "Bitch and moan about 1" (and make sure to say 1" at least 10 times) dome tweeters, and ramble on for at least 5 minutes to fill up enough air time to justify it being a "show", and if you run out of content just repeat what you've already said a time or two, and whatever you do don't bring any real science or data into the conversation, but mumble some pseudo-science and quote a few random speaker brands..."

    Seems like Steve G. is taking his presentation style from some politicians.

    Anyway, I want my 5 minutes back!

    I did a teaser, guided meditation once. To cut a slightly longer story short, the letters appearing, in glowing gold, on the shining-white paper of infinite possibility were "Shopping List."

    This is how far this has gone. SNL can parody this and still be spot on. This is hilarious.

    Banksy auction prank leaves art world in shreds

    Canvas of Girl With Balloon passes through shredder in frame shortly after £1m sale
    https://www.theguardian.com/artandd...-leaves-art-world-in-shreds-girl-with-balloon

    Banksy has played what could be one of the most audacious pranks in art history, arranging for one of his best-known works to self-destruct after being sold at auction for just over £1m.

    Girl With Balloon was the final item in an auction at Sotheby’s in London on Friday night and its sale price equalled the artist’s previous auction record of £1.04m.

    Shortly after the hammer came down on the item, however, the canvas began to pass through a shredder installed in the frame.

    Banksy posted an image on Instagram of the shredded work dangling from the bottom of the frame with the title “Going, going, gone … ”

    “It appears we just got Banksy-ed,” said Alex Branczik, Sotheby’s senior director and head of contemporary art in Europe.

    Sotheby’s said in a statement to the Financial Times: “We have talked with the successful purchaser who was surprised by the story. We are in discussion about next steps.”

    The auction house declined to reveal the identity of the buyer.

    On Saturday evening, Banksy posted a video on his Instagram page which showed a shredder being fitted to the frame of the painting.

    It opened with the caption: “A few years ago, I secretly built a shredder into a painting.”

    The clip shows a hooded figure putting the finishing touches on the device, before text appears on the screen saying: “In case it was ever put up for auction.”

    The website MyArtBroker.com, which resells Banksy pieces, said Girl with Balloon had enjoyed annual increases in value of about 20% in recent years. “Prices now are regularly exceeding £115,000 for signed authenticated prints,” said its co-founder Joey Syer.

    “The auction result will only propel this further and given the media attention this stunt has received, the lucky buyer would see a great return on the £1.02m they paid last night.

    “This is now part of art history in its shredded state and we’d estimate Banksy has added at a minimum 50% to its value, possibly as high as being worth £2m plus.”
