Brian May of Queen has a doctorate in Astrophysics! Mind blown! :o

:huh:
He's famous for that. When comedies would rip him back in the day its what they would play off. He shows up on the Sky at Night sometimes.

Next he'll be amazed that Bruce Dickinson is a certified airline pilot. Or that Dolph Lundgren was offered a scholarship at the MIT.
Is that why teh Brain finds him so dreamy?

No. Something given has no value.

that chick with the weird voice and one-word name whose name I forget ATM
Sia. :contract:

And I thought you meant Bjork.  :sleep:

I've never heard an interview with Bjork.  She's so weird it seems like she'd have to be intelligent, though. :hmm:

I liked that music video of hers with the play within a play within a play within a play within a play. It is plays all the way down.

She may be rather intelligent, but the weirdness tends to cloud any other trait.  You saw the video of her explaining how a TV works, right?

She seems pretty normal in interviews. Her early international interviews, in the 90s, when she was first introduced to a global audience, are often actually charmingly cute.

The weird thing is that when I first saw her my 4 year old niece looked just like her (now not any more), so that was a tad creepy.

Sia may be weird, but her voice isn't particularly.

Bought new tyres for my commuter bike, went from 32mm to 35mm and suddenly the clearance was gone. Modifying fenders is a bitch.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else then.  The woman I am thinking of is from Australia or NZ and she kind of mumble-sings so you can't understand half of what she's saying.

Lorde is the 'Royals' lady right?  I can understand her fine.  I'm pretty sure it's Sia.

Yes. Sia is Australian but I don't really understand how it could be hard to make out what she says. :unsure:
