We do this every week for the Cedarburg Public Library in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Our cause is lifelong learning.

Marcia Smith 1:07
Wow, that’s a darn good question, Robert.

Bob Smith 1:10
It is an unusual question, isn’t it? It comes from Britannica dot coms one good fact series. How many cows were needed to make the Middle Ages Bible?

Marcia Smith 1:20
Well, first question, is it worded that way? I don’t know. Because

Bob Smith 1:23
the widespread adoption of paper made from wood pulp was after the medieval Bibles. Because medieval Bibles were made from parchment or vellum. Yeah, and vellum was made from animal skins. So how many Okay? How many cows were needed to make one of those Bibles in the Middle Ages. Thank you

Marcia Smith 1:43
for that edition. Okay, so I’ll say one Bible how many cows jeez, I’ll say 53 cows

Bob Smith 1:50
53 Cows that be? By brandable amount of vellum, right? Yes, it

Marcia Smith 1:57
is. But it can be very big.

Bob Smith 1:59
We’re talking before Gutenberg and the press. Okay, so we’re talking way way back? Yeah. The eighth century. A Bible one large Bible in the eighth century required 515 515 Calf skill my god that shows you why those things were so expensive. It wasn’t they were just handmade. Look what the material costs 500

Marcia Smith 2:22
cows had a died make the Bible t so

Bob Smith 2:26
think of the king’s ransom required to make a Bible I mean that the property for poor people, if you had a cow or two cows think of 515 cows and you sacrifice them to make a book it must have seemed like a horrible waste.

Marcia Smith 2:38
That’s more than a farmer’s lost that amazing. But

Bob Smith 2:42
imagine how extravagant how expensive that must have been 515 cows to make an eighth century Bible okay.

Marcia Smith 2:49
Why did Victorians wear protective headgear in the shower? Once Victorians finally discovered baths and showers and aren’t we glad they did. They went all out and designed ultra cold showers with shower heads that were designed to deliver a needles like pounding before you dared to get into some of these showers. You had to dawn a shower helmet to keep from being knocked unconscious by the force of the water but the water

Bob Smith 3:19
was so concentrated and focus Yeah, so they went way overboard right away. Yeah, I think that stuff’s crazy now. No, I don’t want needles on me. I just want nice water

Marcia Smith 3:29
people would get knocked unconscious so they had holy cow that’s like you were on bicycles.

Bob Smith 3:35
This is in England and London. Yes. That’s insane. Okay, well, I wonder what the people up at Kohler would think of those things did

Marcia Smith 3:45
come to mind because really adventurous museum which is full of early showers and bathtub or gladiator

Bob Smith 3:52
showerhead. I don’t want to be in a battle. I just want to get clean about you. Where did you get this day for excels book?

Marcia Smith 4:02
Yeah,

Bob Smith 4:03
our friend Dave excels book the

Marcia Smith 4:05
good old days my ass.

Bob Smith 4:09
It does have a lot of fun stuff done. Yes. Yes. Okay, getting back to the Bible and to presses and books, Marcia? How many different types of technologies were used to read before the first electronic tablet the iPad, which was introduced in 2007. Now britannica.com lists seven different technologies. Can you tell me the names of the different technologies used for reading prior to the electronic tablet? I’ll give you one paper paper right? Oh, yeah. Okay. What are some of the other technologies

Marcia Smith 4:42
say you’re talking about paper? I think of like

Bob Smith 4:45
clay tablets and that said cave walls cave walls. I guess I’ll grant you that. I didn’t think about that. That was more like two graphs, right? Pictures and so forth.

Marcia Smith 4:53
Perhaps Yeah. Or you know, Roman slept here.

Bob Smith 4:57
But in this article, they go way back clay tab. It’s probably the first in Mesopotamia about 5000 years ago, the scribes using a stylus to make marks on wet clay tablets. Did you know that the cuneiform writing was actually used for the Epic of Gilgamesh? That famous story of the flood that was recorded on clay tablets? I did not know that. That’s from the seventh century BC you can find it in the British Museum

Marcia Smith 5:24
takes up a lot of space on the old bookshelf papyrus

Bob Smith 5:27
rolls that was in Egypt, of course. Okay. The Egyptian Book of the Dead was recorded on papyrus rolls around 1275 BC. I never heard of this one. Oh, Straka ever heard of this. Now what is that? It’s the plural of awestruck con bits of pottery or limestone used to jot down business matters. Bamboo tablets, silk schools, wax tablets and Codex codexes or kadhi C’s were the last step before the printed book where you’d have these sheets bound together with some kind of fiber or something. So those are the seven technologies prior to the electronic tablet or screens which we use today. It

Marcia Smith 6:06
wasn’t like having 500 cows to give up.

Bob Smith 6:10
500 cows? Okay, Bob

Marcia Smith 6:13
ready? Yeah. In Roman times, who were these two famous women, Amazon and Achillea?

Bob Smith 6:22
In Roman times, who were these two famous women? They were both warriors, weren’t they? In a manner of speaking? Yes. Was Achillea the, the English or Anglo Saxon warrior woman that stood up to the Romans? Now? Okay, tell me,

Marcia Smith 6:36
okay. They were both gladiators or more accurately, Gladiator trusses. I didn’t know they had female gladiators. That’s why I’m talking here. So would you say they’re warriors when they were out there performing for amusement gladiators. All right, though, these female fights were relatively rare and mostly presented as novelty acts. Literary and archaeological evidence suggests that a select few women received as much reverence as the men did. The most famous example is a bust depicting two gladiate trusses using get this their stage names. It’s probably Alice and Gladys, but their stage names were Amazon and Achillea. No kidding. Who fought to a noble draw. So these

Bob Smith 7:20
are two female athletes who are gladiators the Atrus is I never thought of that term. Yeah, I didn’t know there were female gladiators. But now you do. That’s why we’re here. If there’s only to mention there, there’s got to be a lot more behind them. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 7:33
Well, they said there were others, but these were the most famous. Wow. Okay. All

Bob Smith 7:38
right, Marsha. What is the most common pub name in the UK? I thought this was kind of a cute question. Oh, I’ll give you a choice here.

Marcia Smith 7:44
I had to guess first Can I guess? Sure. The Red Lion. How

Bob Smith 7:50
did you know that really is gonna give you the white horse the Royal Oak, the village in or the Red Lion? Oh, those are all big names for pubs. So

Marcia Smith 7:59
about a 200 years ago, I was in Bimini. It’s an island, you know, down there in Bahama area, and there was a downtown British pub called the Red Lion. And it had the arms and I thought well, gee, that must be a real common pub. Well, yeah, in England.

Bob Smith 8:18
In England they have roughly 58,000 pubs in the UK and more are named The Red Lion than any other 517 are named the red line. That’s the that’s the biggest number. The name goes back 400 years ago to the 17th century and the reigns of James the First and James the sixth of Scotland. They ordered the Scottish Red Lion to appear on all important buildings. Oh really? And the Brits decided what’s more important than a PA. So today, the Red Lion is the name of 517 pubs in England, the most popular above all others. The next most popular is the Royal Oak 103 got a couple more here showing its love of the royal family. London’s most popular pub name is the Prince of Wales. Oh yeah. 29 of those.

Marcia Smith 9:03
Mine would be the prince of ales but

Bob Smith 9:07
that’s a good one. And Darby sure where my coal mining ancestor John Oakley came from the most popular pub name is the miners arms. Isn’t that interesting? Yeah. Go further north in great Manchester. The railway is a name for a pub that could be due to the fact that that was the home of the first scheduled passenger rail service. So the railway is their number one pub name in Manchester. Over to Wales. They have the three horseshoes and the Scottish Borders. You’ll find the Cross Keys and then down in Ireland county down. You’ll come across the bridge. Those are the big names of pubs in UK right but the most popular like you said was the Red Lion.

Marcia Smith 9:47
Do you remember seeing when when we were in England? Oh yeah. Okay. In what city will you find 17 water fountains that dispense sparkling water,

Bob Smith 9:58
sparkling water Ah,

Marcia Smith 10:00
oh no,

Bob Smith 10:01
it’s carbonated water. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 10:02
yes sparkling water.

Bob Smith 10:04
And is this something that’s manufactured for them? Or is it naturally carbonated?

Marcia Smith 10:08
Big carbonate? Okay.

Bob Smith 10:09
I don’t know I say Rome for some reason, but that’s probably wrong. What where is this is in Europe?

Marcia Smith 10:15
It’s Paris, France.

Unknown Speaker 10:16
Oh, okay.

Marcia Smith 10:18
Sparkling water fountains began in Italy around 2009. But actually the idea was tailor made for France. Why? Why would you say that? That’s where some of the famous brands of water came from evianne and Perrier. But the city has the ultimate goal of installing at least one sparkling water fountain and all their different 20 districts. And so far, they’re doing well they have 17 Wow, they’re very popular and they save a lot of plastic waste a year they figure because people can have their sparkling water if you like sparkling water. Yeah, which I did test.

Bob Smith 10:54
I’m not crazy about it.

Marcia Smith 10:56
We’re in America. Bob, will you find the City of Fountains,

Bob Smith 11:00
the City of Fountains in America? The city of thumps, they’ve got the big fountains down in the Grant Park in Chicago. But that’s probably not it. Let’s do something like Kansas City or is it Kansas?

Marcia Smith 11:13
Good for you. What made you say that? I

Bob Smith 11:15
don’t know. I just they have other distinctions. Kansas City has the world war one museum, they have a few other things like that. And I thought I bet they have fountains there.

Marcia Smith 11:23
They do. And when I was there a few years ago to visit my buddy Teresa, a heck of a lot of fountains there. I’ll tell you that beautiful

Bob Smith 11:29
fountains. Yes. All right. So we got phones. We’ve got pubs now we have volcanic eruptions. That’s lady Atrus. Is Yes. My question. Where do you have to go to see the largest volcanic eruptions? I’m hiding

Marcia Smith 11:45
a lot of jokes in my head with that one. Okay. Where do you have to go to see the most the

Bob Smith 11:49
largest volcanic eruptions Alaska? No, Hawaii? No. Europe? No. Where you go to a telescope? Oh, because they’re happening in outer space course in our solar system. That’s not fair. Oh, that’s the truth. The largest volcanic eruptions in our solar system are on a moon of Jupiter. Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. How big are the eruptions are large enough to be seen from telescopes on Earth?

Marcia Smith 12:20
Hmm. Wow. Okay, Bob. Why is organized obstruction of legislation called a filibuster? What does that word come from? Oh, that’s a good way. Hey, Buster.

Bob Smith 12:32
That’s a pretty arcane term. Isn’t it filibuster buster? So does bus mean to stop and fellow means? It’s not Philadelphia buster? I don’t know what. Where did that come from? Well,

Marcia Smith 12:43
it’s from the Spanish word. Fei Li B U S, Te Aro fillable sterile excuse my pronunciations, which is a word they use when referring to get this pirates in the West Indies kid. It’s where it’s from pirates. filibuster was first used to describe obstruction tactics in the US Senate in 1851. Because those who were holding up the passage of a bill until their demands were met were likened to pirates. Back in the middle 1800s They said they’re like pirates. They’re holding up Philippi stereo and everybody

Bob Smith 13:23
knew what that meant. probably learned that people of the Congress knew what it meant. Yeah, well, sterols. Yeah. Wow.

Marcia Smith 13:31
f i l i b ust era. Okay, but sterile. So I bet you know, this one who holds the record for the longest filibuster? I

Bob Smith 13:41
thought it was Strom Thurmond or somebody like that. That’s right. How long? Gosh, I don’t know how did it go on 12 hours or something? I believe that 24 hours

Marcia Smith 13:50
and eight minutes. That’s right. 24 hours and eight minutes in 1957. Can

Bob Smith 13:56
you imagine somebody talking that much now other than me, and well, and you know

Marcia Smith 14:00
what his reason was? What to obstruct civil rights, legislation wars.

Bob Smith 14:05
He was big on that. Isn’t that

Marcia Smith 14:07
special? Wow. Okay,

Bob Smith 14:09
I totally pivot to something else before we take a break. Okay, who was the first Sexiest Man Alive? Named by People magazine? I can give you choices. Mel Gibson, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise or Sean Connery. And here’s a hint they were all a year was 1985. Mel Gibson, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, or Sean Connery.

Marcia Smith 14:31
Off say Sean Connery, you’re wrong. It was Mel Gibson.

Bob Smith 14:35
That’s right. It was Yeah. Sexiest Man Alive. That’s People Magazine benchmark for male attractiveness. The origin of the title was a discussion of a planned story on Mel Gibson. So they said you know, he’s kind of the Sexiest Man Alive. So yeah, that’s that’s when they started using that term

Marcia Smith 14:52
and it’s a big seller every year. Yeah. Okay,

Bob Smith 14:55
so Mel Gibson was the first sexiest man alive for People Magazine. What year was In 1985 85

Marcia Smith 15:01
Oh, okay, it might be married then. Yes, we were March. I didn’t pay attention. Okay, let’s

Bob Smith 15:09
take a break. You’re listening to the off ramp with by Marcia Smith. We’re back with the sexiest man alive by Bob Smith. Okay, we’re back, Bob and Marsha Smith. We do this every week for the Cedarburg, Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin. We call it the off ramp. And then we put it on podcast platforms and goes all over the world. We’d love to have you visit us at our website, the off ramp dot show, and you can subscribe to our show. And then every time on your podcast app, that we put out a new show that will signal that you’ll know that up

Marcia Smith 15:42
when a person is facing serious trouble. Why are they said to be in dire straits? Dire

Bob Smith 15:48
Straits, one of my favorite bands back in the 80s. Yeah, but

Marcia Smith 15:53
this goes back to what you say. So many word origins come from these several things. And this is one of those several things

Bob Smith 16:01
dire straits? I bet it was a straits which are places in the sea. Yes. Where I think I think it refers to the tip of South America, the Dire Straits down there, very dangerous places

Marcia Smith 16:14
you pretty much habit straits is a Middle English word that was used by sailors to describe a tight, narrow, difficult channel to maneuver. So it can be anywhere. The term originally met facing an obstacle that was very hard to overcome in places such as the Bering Strait or the Strait of Gibraltar. Yes. And so that sounds strange. Gibraltar

Bob Smith 16:36
is where you go into the Mediterranean from the Atlantic. Yeah, very tidy channel there.

Marcia Smith 16:40
And that’s where the word came from dire straits. Oh,

Bob Smith 16:43
okay. All right, Marcia. So every jot and tittle you’ve heard of that? That term? Sure in which of these letters can you find a tiddle? Okay, all right. Give the letters Yeah, and ay. Ay. Z, or P.

Marcia Smith 16:59
Hi.

Speaker 1 17:00
Why would you call it because that little dad above the eye? That’s right, that is a tall, that’s

Bob Smith 17:05
a dental. The English expression every jot and tittle means every small detail has received attention and a tittle is a superscript. Usually a dot, a small distinguishing mark, or a letter. So in the case of oIZ, and P, only the eye has a twiddle the dot, that’s the small distinguishing mark hanging over. What’s another letter that has a dot

Marcia Smith 17:30
dot, J. J,

Bob Smith 17:32
that’s another one. Right? All

Marcia Smith 17:33
right, Bob, who am I? Time for that portion of the show?

Bob Smith 17:37
Here we go. A bunch of describes a person of notes. Okay.

Marcia Smith 17:40
I think you’ll get Okay, pretty quick. I’ll just give you their half of the first sentence to see if you can get it there. Okay. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom post humorously in 1994

Bob Smith 17:53
After he died, okay, posthumously in 1994.

Marcia Smith 17:58
Okay, go ahead. He was awarded it for a recognition for his nonviolent activism and support of the working people. Who aren’t Martin Luther King, Jr. No. Okay. Okay. He started the national farmworkers Association, Cesar Chavez, yes. Okay. He led strikes a nationwide boycotts of lettuce and grapes to win better conditions for field workers. Cesar Chavez he lived 1927 to 1993. National Farm Workers later became the United Farm Worker. That’s right. I do remember not having lettuce jammed with airstrikes. Right. And grapes. Yeah. Did that mean a cut down in the line? No, I

Bob Smith 18:36
meant my salads kind of, you know, I’m not a wine drinker. So

Marcia Smith 18:40
I was shut down. Why did you start on salads, salads? were suffering. What’s going on with that Caesar guy? That’s

Bob Smith 18:47
so fun. I mentioned Martin Luther King Jr. I have an interesting fact. What’s unusual about how Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta spent their first night of marriage.

Marcia Smith 18:58
Well, Bob, in that a little personal. What’s unusual about it? They were on a march maybe? No. Okay. You got me.

Bob Smith 19:08
It had to do with what you talked about earlier civil rights, segregation and everything. Because no local hotel would accommodate them. They slept in the car or something. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta spent the first night of their marriage in the guest bedroom of a funeral parlor.

Unknown Speaker 19:25
Oh my gosh, yeah,

Bob Smith 19:27
they did that because no hotel near Marion, Alabama would give them a room. That’s just, that’s that’s what things are like back then.

Marcia Smith 19:35
Okay. All right, Bob. Here’s some presidential teasers for you. You should get both of these who was the only president to earn an MBA from the Harvard Business School?

Bob Smith 19:45
That’s George Bush, Jr. HW bush. That’s

Marcia Smith 19:49
correct. And who was the only president to win a Rhodes scholar to Oxford University. That’s

Bob Smith 19:55
Bill Clinton.

Marcia Smith 19:56
That’s right. And that’s it.

Bob Smith 19:57
All right. You remember back to during the pandemic, remember the quarantine we all went through? Of course they were some of them were awkward. Yes. For some couples, for instance, about this. What famous writer had to spend a quarantine cooped up with his wife and his mistress. Wow, now this is a 1926 Oh,

Marcia Smith 20:22
he’s probably single now and living happily alone. Tell me, it

Bob Smith 20:28
was Ernest Hemingway. When was that? 1926. Now, early in the summer of 1926, Ernest Hemingway’s first wife Hadley was quarantined in France with their son. He had contracted whooping cough, and on May 21, she wrote to her husband who was in Spain to inform him. She had invited a rather surprising houseguest Hemingway’s mistress Pauline Pfeiffer. And guess what she came? He did come they were all three there. Can you believe that? Yeah, apparently, the Hemingways had been living in Paris for a few years already. And Hadley recently discovered her husband had been carrying on an affair with Pfeiffer. She was a Vogue Editor. Hadley was meek and matronly and she was spirited and stylish. So, Ernie, though Hadley was not happy about the infidelity, she ultimately accepted that her husband plan to continue both relationships. But she wrote to her husband, she goes, this is a swell joke on the world. If you and FE and I spend the summer together, well guess what? They did. Apparently, Pfeiffer often crawled into bed with a Hemingway’s for breakfast. What started out as they quote, swell joke eventually proved too much for Hadleys relationship with her husband and they divorced in 1927. Yeah, good.

Marcia Smith 21:43
No kidding.

Bob Smith 21:44
There’s a way to spend a quarantine with your mistress and your wife are we ever

Marcia Smith 21:48
did was start the off ramp there.

Bob Smith 21:50
I know. Oh, that was fun. I’m glad we did that. Me

Marcia Smith 21:53
too. Okay, Bob fo rice noodle soup is the national dish of which country Vietnam? Is it South Korea? India to it’s Vietnam.

Marcia Smith 22:12
was gonna know it’s been there for several years. Just seeing if you paid attention. Yeah. All right. Good. Yeah.

Bob Smith 22:20
P H. O fo Yeah. Okay, Marcia, how did Lenny Bruce influence the writing of the musical Fiddler on the Roof?

Marcia Smith 22:29
Well, that’s curious. I thought you’re gonna say something about Mrs. Maisel. But no, well, we

Bob Smith 22:34
know he influenced that show. Yeah, but

Marcia Smith 22:36
Fiddler on the Roof. Having a clue?

Bob Smith 22:40
Well, when he was writing Fiddler on the Roof, Sheldon Harnick said he refrained from including much Yiddish and the reason is, he saw any Bruce use Yiddish in his act, and he noticed it either caused laughter or confusion. And in Fiddler, if any Yiddish elicited unintentional chuckles he removed it from the script. He didn’t want any confusion or distraction from the story. Yeah, so Lenny Bruce influenced Fiddler on the Roof. Who knew?

Marcia Smith 23:10
Okay, what do these animals all have in common? All right, coyotes. Atlantic puffins. puffins are so cute. Shingo back lizards, gray wolves bald eagles, and Eurasian beavers.

Bob Smith 23:25
Wow. I think I’ve heard of all those except the shingle backed shingle back to a

Marcia Smith 23:29
lizard shingle back to listen ones with all the shingles on their back. Is

Bob Smith 23:33

The largest bird nest ever encountered is in Florida, and measures nine and a half feet long and 20 feet deep. Wow. sets their age in place home.

Bob Smith 24:17
Nine and a half feet long and 20 feet. Do you believe it? Wow, that’s
