CHRISTMAS 2023 PESA LUNCHEON DECEMBER

Presented by: Dave Grybowski, Consultant

Abstract –

If you missed David’s double-header luncheon talk of October last year comprising Cry Me A River and the world premiere of The Project – A Play About Not Working Together, here’s your second shot at the Christmas Cracker. This December, PESA SA/NT is paying David $1,000,000 to return with another blockbuster. Before dessert, David will lead a joint discussion on The Books That Hooked Me – an investigation of the childhood books and collectables that turned his head toward geology. Luncheoneers will be invited to share their experience. How can we turn those young brains we babysit into earth scientists and engineers with great Christmas gifts? Specifically, the challenge of making engineering remotely interesting to a kid compared to all the neat things geological.
After dessert, there will be a thrilling slideshow on The Role of Toilet Paper. The Chinese invented toilet paper in the 6th Century after discovering gunpowder was much too powerful and what to do with all those books after inventing printing eight centuries earlier? David will show a great variety of toilet paper dispensers with video of how well they don’t work. Naturally, there will be a tie-up with Christmas at the end, and remember, paper beats rock, any day.
