  • #E1 (e to eager beaver)
    I read from e to eager beaver.

    I don't think I sung an actual E.
     
    The mathematical constant "e" hurts my brain, but it's pretty important!
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)
     
    You can listen to the whole song (and watch the video) of "E Eats Everything" by They Might be Giants.
    https://youtu.be/IcO2qWARE_E
     
    The word of the episode is "eager beaver".

    From Christophe: "One is 'Standing On Water' (link to YouTube below); the doc about my life, surfing, and dwarfism. And then a surfing retrospective film about Allen Sarlo, the "King Of Malibu". That one is called Allen Sarlo's Super 8 Time Capsule."
