The Myth of Pandora’s Box - Neatorama

The Greeks had a story for everything. You've heard "Pandora's box" all your life as a term for opening up something you shouldn't because you don't know what's in there. The original story is a cautionary tale about curiosity and temptation. Pandora gets the blame for all the evils of the world, yet it was Zeus who set her up to take the fall. This TED-Ed lesson from Iseult Gillespie has the story. -via Laughing Squid

If she's the one who does the voices on the show, are they really "impersonations"?

According to dictionary.com, the 3rd definition of impersonate is: "to act or play the part of; personate."

But I was with you at first, since it more commonly means to "assume the character" or "mimic the voice of someone" for the purpose of entertainment (or for evil).

She is a scientologist but she seems so normal.

I was on a college speech team with Nancy -- she was an enormously talented college freshman and one of the kindest people I've ever met.

There's another interview with her. It seems kind of jerky to refuse to record an answering machine message for him, but I'm sure they're under strict orders to protect the characters and Simpson's brand.

She's not just any Scientologist, she's one of the super-duper thetan ones. She gave $10 million to them last year. What a nut. How those crooks manage to bamboozle people is beyond me.

I don't what she's taking, but it's definitly not valium...

They only need to bamboozle a few dumb rich ones, and a whole lotta lonely, impressionable people who think they're smarter than they actually are.
