I think it'd be nice to print out the quote and put it up on the studio wall. Sorry I know it’s not a Music Thing story but a quote which Tom highlighted, but you know what I mean.

This is funny: one of the BBC's Radio presenters pissed herself (not literally) laughing reading this story on air http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7318173.stm What do you guys think of the Music Thing story about Francis Bacon's prediction of recording studios and... more? http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-francis-bacon-predicted-recording.html mmm. bacon.

I think it's the first one that was reconstructed... and yeah, too bad the other one was a hoax. It was a great hoax, though. @seismo: Well, this wasn’t the first recording, because this inventor was working prior to 1860.
