My latest podcast is up where I discuss all of the things you will find nowadays hidden in the fine print of contracts. Like an Easter egg hunt but where each egg removes one of your legal rights. I also explain - from personal experience - how you might find yourself signing a contract which is written entirely in French, even if you speak no French. At least, it happened to me.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And since I hate to just hit and run with these little announcements, here are two videos. The first is of me talking about Turbine Cars with Jay Leno.

The second is me talking about Stout Scarabs with my friend Mark Lieberman. If you have seen them both, I guess the only takeaway for you here is the the podcast.

It is funny to think about how nonsensical the google translation of French boilerplate would be

I wish I still had the contract. I would try it just for laughs.

Chrysler built 55 of these turbine cars. 54 were Turbine Bronze (the official name of the paint color) and ONE was white. The white one made an appearance in The Lively Set and a few other places but was not widely displayed or photographed otherwise.

Ok, I think I remember you mentioning that before. Thanks.

You could have said, "It's in my book. "

That wouldn't have answered your question though!
