katerina, the 2009 st. paulie girl, dropped by for the episode.

episode three of catch it keep it involves a year’s supply of beer surrounded by dynamite. that’s a must-see.

Friday: Catch It Keep It (Science, 10 p.m.): This week on the series which asks engineers to come up with ways to keep a valuable prize from being destroyed, it’s a challenge dear to my heart: a year’s supply of beer is being threatened by powerful explosives sitting only inches away. Save the beer, win the beer. Incentives don’t get much bigger. ()

to save it?

— according to the name supposedly came to singer in a vision.

– When asked where they got their name, they responded, “The dictionary.” The word “evanescence” means “a disappearance or dissipation, like vapor.” They apparently had a horrible name before and wanted something better. They also wanted to do some artwork (with whatever name they chose) and decided to look under E. They liked the word and definition, likening it to the temporal nature of life.

– Our third eye is the imagined one that gives us a kind of sixth sense (telepathy, ESP, etc.) and the band felt that most of us are blind in that sense. There is also a symbolic third eye (all knowing eye) that appears on the back of a U.S. dollar bill.

– David Lee Roth considered naming the band “Mammoth” until Alex and Eddie Van Halen thought the name “Van Halen” would be better.
