Eddie Izzard - iPhone & Wikipedia - Houston, June 10

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia

'Identified for the first time by Oswald Berkhan in 1881,' ... he was a Nazi ... 'the term 'dyslexia' was coined in 1887 by Rudolf Berlin, an ophthalmologist.'
"wtf is an ophthamologist? Is that birds, or teeth or eyes?
Why would it be an eye guy? Well, it WAS in Germany."
He continues to talk about how he's cool with Germany. Every country goes Bat-Shit crazy. Germany just got it all out of their system in one go between 1938 - 1945.

I wish I had been on video capture instead of still photos for his bit on adding GPS to the iPhone and the authority of wikipedia.

"And one caveman, he's like, "Hey, Jeff! This guy Steve, he's got better rocks. you don't just bash things. They're flint, so they can be made into arrows, and can make fire, and have GPS. You drop them, so you always know where you've been. and they're half the cost!"
