(/wnet/need-to-know/files/2010/10/Library.jpg)This week on our Karr on Culture podcast: An NPR librarian considers all facts (/wnet/need-to-know/files/2010/10/karronculture-badge.gif)Kee Malesky (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100844) has spent more than 20 years answering questions for the talking heads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY-5WGfOtoc&feature=related) at National Public Radio (http://www.npr.org): How much junk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_debris) is there in space? Which Congress had the most appointed Senators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/79th_United_States_Congress)? Who first said, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture (http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2010/07/ot-we-hear-from-martin-mull.html)"? She's distilled what she's learned into a book: "All Facts Considered: The Essential Library of Inessential Knowledge (http://www.allfactsconsidered.com/allfactsconsidered.com/all_facts_considered.html)." She says -- contra David Byrne (http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/talking-heads-lyrics/crosseyed-and-painless-lyrics.html) -- that facts are neither simple nor straight.
