104: Of Dyson Men

Well, this certainly had a disappointing ending. Instead of launching my new life as a cryptographer, we’ve been informed that the curious markings on the Dyson air dryer were not, in fact, spelling out a secret message.

According to the sleuths of Reddit (aka The Truth), it’s really just a way to display all of their offerings. Oh, and the weird cross-beam thingy is a desk lamp. Neither fun nor satisfying!

Listen to the episode here:

Other topics of conversation included:

  • The care and keeping of fish tanks

  • How Andrew once wanted a fish tank but mostly just so he could have miniatures

  • How miniatures are very cute and we all appreciate them

  • Punny Halloween costumes

  • And one more place where a feather duster is not welcome.

Plus! A warning I’ve really been meaning to share! And that warning is this!

DO NOT. MIX. BLEACH. AND. AMMONIA. IT WILL BECOME MUSTARD GAS AND KILL YOU.

This includes cleaning out litter boxes (cat pee = ammonia) or mixing cleaning chemicals (usually bathroom cleaners). DON’T. DO. IT.

In fact, try not to mix cleaning chemicals at all. It’s a bad idea. Don’t do it.
