The 5th Hmmcast crests the 10 minute mark but in the name of sharing (and shilling for) some more comments. Includes Hmm-worthy comments by regular readers and a Da Vinci book author who has been sued by the Da Vinci Code publisher Random House. This author claims he was plagiarized by Dan Brown and in the comments the author plagiarizes me (no, not really).

This also includes a screwed-up spoken cliche: “diamond in the rubble” — what’s that? Must be some Flinstones on the brain since we’ve been working our way through the first season DVD. Done in a single take.
