Immediately had to google "nut graft". Never heard that term before today. What I learned:
1. It's "nut graph" 🤦‍♂️
2. It's short for "NUTshell paraGRAPH". I guess ink and time were more expensive back then and they just didn't have time for those pesky extra syllables.

This is very important... Does anyone have the link to the video showing Cal's keyboard? I've thinking about it for the last few weeks ...

Cal: Who is that pretty Lady on this video in the beginning of this video. Is she your wife? I thought it was a woman that you were going to interview. Or was it just your way of teasing us but not following up. I see Yahoo and the tabloids do this type of journalism.

Cal, you're a genius, so I expect more of you. Otherwise, your advice for the London man was good, just take out the false teasing.
