-- deaf astronomers, past and future

-- a shocking gesture by interpreter (or not shocking)
An interpreter, on TV, used a gesture that many people
thought was a dirty word. The speaker spoke the word
"lazy" and it led the interpreter to show that
gesture. The speaker was Daniel Andrews, the
Premier of Victoria (in Australia). Many signs
for many words are different in USA and in Australia!
