- I was just listening to this episode in the car on my way to work this morning. I actually had started it the other day, but I restarted it because I really enjoyed the story Robert Krulwich read in the very beginning. I liked it so much that I got into work and started doing a bit of research. It's funny that the story Krulwich tells seems to give an entirely different meaning than what Aristophanes originally intended, which was a way of almost poking fun at the origin stories found throughout Greek mythology. After learning this, I prefer Robert's telling of this story. :)
I haven't finished the episode, yet, but I stopped at the true mirror story and I ended up spending a few minutes staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror in my car and trying to visualize how exactly I appear differently in the mirror and to other people. This made my brain hurt. I also tried parting my hair on the other side, too, to see how it would look. It also got me thinking about the mirrors in beauty salons. I wonder if it would be better if those were true mirrors, so that you and your stylist could see exactly how your new 'do looks to everyone else!
P.S. Radiolab has turned me into a fan of Zoe Keating. I LOVE her music. :)
