Sounds like the time two Texas A&M vet students in the late 70s who were smart enough to overcome the interlocks on the cyclotron but not smart enough not to look upstream at the beam they were aiming at an animal.

All good performers of audiobooks bring a very different experience to the work. The person reading an audiobook makes all the difference in the world. Jim Dale helped make the Rowling books. Having the right person read the book is important too. Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey series was brought to life by Patrick Tull's reading. I can not picture anyone else doing justice to the series. Terry Pratchett's works are made by Stephen Briggs' performance. After hearing these readings, I could not stand to have a computer read the book. That difference is worth protecting. The Authors should have a say in how a work is performed.
