Gather around science fans, history buffs, geeks and nerds - have we got a
show for you.

-Is your budgie really a dinosaur?
-Why did Burke and Wills take a Chinese gong on their expedition?
-Is it true that the Great Wall Of China is the only man made structure
that you can see from the moon?

These are the sort of questions that will be answered in the lunchtime comedy lecture program at the Melbourne Museum.

Each show, two of the Festival's top local and international acts will talk about science or history subjects close to their hearts. Those already sticking their hands up include local legends Rod Quantock
and Hannah Gadsby.

ANSWERS:
* Yes.
* Because Burke was a berk.
* Are you kidding? It's only 30 feet wide. You can barely make out the continents from the moon.
