 From Episode 2 of Where It's @ Symbol.
 
It can't really be said that any of WI@S qualifies to be in a "best of", so here at least is "some of" the show. I was talking about scientists who had stolen their inventions from others and mention Benjamin Franklin. He overheard. Later, I was speaking about the inventors James Watt and Sim Wong Hoo.
 
WHERE IT'S @ SYMBOL - 6PM SUNDAYS ON SYN.
 
Contains some strong language.
