  2. Solvitur Ambulando - Mini Mission

    Season 3, Episode 63

    Show notes

    James Bond is known for his one liners & quips - Did you know that history's first one liner was "Solvitur Ambulando"? According to legend, the Greek philosopher Diogenes the Cynic responded to Zeno's paradoxes (which argued that motion is an illusion) simply by standing up and pacing back and forth across the room, announcing "Solvitur Ambulando - It is solved by walking". Very Bond-ian! Tune in!
