genial: veja e ouça grandes ícones

espero de coração que, ao ouvir grandes ícones, você não tenha pensado em um atalho gigante no teu desktop  Alegre 

o OpenCulture publicou uma lista maravilhosa de audios e videos de grandes figuras da cultura e da ciência.  um tesouro mesmo, que ao menos pra mim vai garantir semanas e semanas de deleite.
