Hey Buzzers, This is Jon the amateur linguist from New York with my first well actually! In episode 1147, you said that the SarcMark was the first mark invented that could denote sarcasm. Actually, French poet Alcanter de Brahm invented the “point d’ironie” (which looks like this: ؟) at the end of the 19th century and it is actually part of Unicode (as character U+2E2E). Anyways, Love the show and keep up the great work! Hey Buzz Crew, Analog voice (data) => unlimited data plan Digital cable (data) => unlimited data plan My inner "geek" LOVES the show! Thank you, Hey, or David In the 4 Ward of Buzztown

Anyways, Love the show and keep up the great work! Hey Buzz Crew, I'm still trying to understand why cell phone companies charge for both a voice and a data plan considering they just convert your voice call to data anyway at the switch in the tower. Why don't they just come out and say they already do voice over IP and just charge it against our "unlimited" data plan? Analog voice (data) => unlimited data plan The same can be said about the cable companies charging us for our "cable TV" plan which is just "digital"... meaning "data". Why isn't that covered in our "unlimited" data plan? Digital cable (data) => unlimited data plan If it is all data on the wire, then just call it "data"! The communication industries are really milking this. My inner "geek" LOVES the show! Thank you, Hey, Apparently NASA is cutting the price on selling the space shuttles after they are retired. Now down to $28.8 million. or I can just see the Craigslist ad now: For Sale, used convertible flying RV, custom made, seating for 7, 1 toilet on board, lots of storage space in back, goes REALLY fast, white with black trim, YOU HAUL….
