In case Chew is wrong, I'll guess WTN=Sarah Palin.

Brain stem in Michelangelo's painting? I have to side with Rebecca on this one. This neurosurgeon must be a stoner.

Gentlemen and Rebecca,

I would like to point out something:

Quote from: Steven Novella on Jul 24, 2010, 10:19:10 AM
Interview with Randi & Banachek
News Items: Report from TAM8, Monster Star, Anti-Vax in Oz, Kabbalah Bracelet, Monkey Fossil, Monkeys in the Pants, Libel Tourism Bill
Who's That Noisy
Science or Fiction

Please note the time on the post above: 12:19:10

Now please note the time on the post below:

Quote from: Belgarath on Jul 24, 2010, 12:46:26 PM
Nope, I'm guessing Bertrand Russell

You'll note that there is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes between when the podcast was published and when the answer was given. Whenever I have won WTN, I have listened to the podcast without skipping ahead.

 Now, go back and look at Chew who feels his mission in life is to post the time of WTN within 5 minutes of the podcast coming out.  Methinks the ire is misdirected.......

If Jay loses Science or Fiction he should finally eat that 50lb of fish-flavoured bacon from a dozen or so episodes back.
