For the summer, Dick has the Flexii USB Mouse which has a fan for cooling (Episode 646). The winter equivalent is the Warmmi USB Heating Mouse, also available from vavolo.com. USB-powered, it uses infrared rays to warm up your mouse-operating hand in winter - up to 45°C. There is an on/off button on the USB wire to turn the heat off when you don't need the heating.Live Audience
During this week's taping, Leo has in the studio a live audience - of one - Barbara.
Buzzers Old and New
Leo has a buzzer ready for the studio audience's reactions to Dick's jokes, but William Castle, maker of low budget horror thrillers, had selected seats in cinemas wired up with buzzers for his film "The Tingler", to give the audience a jolt. Read about the Tingler on Wikipedia, or imdb.
Mad Study Group
Rick the Vegas Cabbie as a teenager used to go to a friend's home to read the Mad Magazine, all 15 of them. He wants to thank Dick, Al Jaffee, Bill Gaines and the Usual Gang of Idiots for giving him a good time.
