Wow! What a Monday show… a nice start to the week.
Given a long enough timeline someone may pass away while watching RocketBoom.
Hey, it could happen.
Happy Thanksgiving!

What the heck did she say…?
O la la ! Amusant !
Nice surprise listening you in english, from italy, and then understand you in french…
The translation by an Italian ?
She spoke regarding a transmission from paris for France24 ? Excited to come in Paris, but also for croissant, dresses and other things that makes women happy and spend money …
It is great to see Joanne being herself, as in the case of the closing French remarks. Contrast that with the rest of the show which is harshly scripted.
My take is, let Joanne be, loosen up a little, and the show would be 1000% better.
C’est super de t’entendre parler en français!
Have a nice week! ;)
Regarding the odds of dying chart - this chart applies statistics of 2003 to lifetime odds of death.
A few things stand out - 1-84 chance of dying in a vehicle accident is shocking.
Best bet for prolonging life is to conquer heart problems, cancer, and stroke. Shouldn’t we be putting a greater portion of $$ and political capital into these diseases rather than more minor threats such as AIDS? And should we be looking at whether all of the expense and broughhaha over stem cell research is worthwhile.
I know that both of these issues are politically charged, but shouldn’t the lionshare of or tax $$ for research go to save the most lives?
Then again - we are dealing with government and common sense - mutually exclusive all too often.
Who does write the scripts? I want to know who to blame for the bad jokes.
Ah! Joanne!! Quelle joie de t’entendre parler en français! Et quel magnifique accent tu as!
J’espère que tu aimeras Paris autant que tu nous le raconte.
Veux-tu m’épouser?
Je rigole! A moins que tu veuilles… non? À.. tant pis! lol
Perky little number - - -
…. just what Monday’s need.
On a really cool note -
I’ve never met anyone who died of any of those causes.
On a less cool note - does
this mean they didn’t die -
and just didn’t want to hang
out any more ?
Or is this list inaccurate ..
well take a look at the
Aircraft/Space?? category.
……. errrr…
..that’s so far off the mark
I think these stats must
only apply to the U.S. military….
but then the firework figure
would need revising.
Have a good week y’all.
Slashdot doesn’t really “write” anything.
the best that could get to being true would be “Commander Taco of slashdot writes that …”
but in this case you should have said “Reported on slashdot,…” or “Slashdot reports,…”, “report” being the operative verb.
but then if every news aggregating media outlet actually referenced the original source, it’d be a totally different world, wouldn’t it? Although RB *usually* does a decent job of that
Well whatevs
Actually a good show today imo
thx guys
In related news, Darth Vader is very very disappointed that the Rebels have failed to buy his Empire’s new fancy overpriced light saber.
Joanne, here’s some videos of Paris.

Don’t worry, I didn’t shoot any video of the chain smokers.
And here are some photos of the tents that the homeless live in, provided (I think) by Mediciens Sans Frontiers. I tried asking MSF here in the US to ask why they don’t give tents to American homeless people, but I haven’t gotten a response.

c’etait si cool Joan de te voir parler en francais.
Did you really work for TF1 in France a few years ago ?
I am a French working in NY in the internet and I really adore you !
Kisses.
Waouw, joanne, your french is excellent ^^
I wish i could speak english the way you speak french…
!!Impatient de te voir dans les rues de Paris!! :)
That was just about the most biased anti-Zune review you could possibly find in a “mainstream” newspaper. I have no personal interest in favor of the Zune, especially since I am a Mac user, but as a Mac user I know the work of that author, Andy Inhatko. His articles are marked by two characteristics: They are always pro-Apple, and they are always hyperbolic. I actually enjoy reading his articles very much, because they are funny (intentionally). He will start with a subject and gradually ramp up the hyperbole, humor, and pop culture references until I’m laughing well before the end of the article. Andy is the Dave Barry of Mac computer columnists.
I do not like the Zune, but presenting Inhatko’s opinion of the Zune does not qualify as objective information. Anyone who knows Andy’s writing already knows he will hate it, and already knows that if it’s a “complete, humiliating failure” on Andy’s scale, on a normal scale he means it’s “OK, with some quirks.”
Way back at the dawn of the 1960s, I learned that one of the sexiest sounds on earth was the voice of a woman with an English accent speaking French. (Example: Petula Clark’s recording of “Chariot,” which is an order of magnitude better than the US version by Little Peggy March, which was retitled “I Will Follow Him.”)
Today’s RB confirms this premise, and for that I am grateful.
salut! j’aime parle francais! j’aime croisont aussi!
woo knew? joanne speaks french! alot more than i do…
great show!

My wife and I love Paris - love that Francais!
if only you had the energy in english that you have in french.. sigh!
Weird, add all the odds of dying and see that they only account for 42% - where are the rest –some might escape after all?
