1. Space will expand to accommodate an infinite number of possessions, regardless of their size.
2. Shortage of finance, however dire, will never prevent the acquisition of a desired object, however improbable its cost.

Thanks for the link.
NPR isn't at all shy about running occasional little stories on early sound recording technology, or artists, at least compared to other mass media outlets. Accuracy is another matter, they've said some wacky things from time to time.
