Panic! At The cisco posted:the taxonomic hierarchy is a sham anyway, it doesnt matter what name you give them [ask] me about zoological nomenclature I actually knew a lot about it, and read the whole ICZN code when I was a grad student. species and genus level names are not a sham, unless you're one of the Phylocode guys. and Phylocode is pretty much the Losethos of taxonomy.

A Packard Bell radio was used as a prop in the 1960s American television series, Gilligan's Island. The Japanese-made, eight-transistor AR-851 was an important plot device over the course of the three year run of the show. A handle and external antenna were added to the AM-only radio, presumably to make it appear more "radio-like."
