Love the Bertrand Russle quotes from Jay, but did you all know that Russel was a JFK conspiracist?


Great show this week, as usual!

I guess Bertrand Rustles your jimmies

WTN: The sound that a child of an anti-vaccer makes when they "outgrow" their autism.

What do you mean that’s not it...oh...well...juvenile hyenas then.

Bertrand Russell did write his "16 Questions on the Assassination" article less than a year after the JFK assassination had occurred ( http://karws.gso.uri.edu/jfk/the_critics/russell/sixteen_questions_russell.html ), but it seems to me to be just him questioning authority and showing some healthy skepticism with the official story because it's a long, long way from writing an article like this to being someone like Jim Garrison and having elaborate shadow government coup d'état theories (or hypotheses).

It's one thing to bring up unanswered questions. It's another thing to continue harping on those questions long after they have been adequately discharged.

Did Bertrand Russell do that with the JFK assassination?

Okay, it's clearly not an easy or straightforward name for non-Dutch speakers to pronounce. But Steve butchered it way more than necessary. "Hyoo-gens"? That's just getting the U and Y the wrong way around.  :P

Interesting!  I'm not sure which species the WTN was, but probably an odontocete of some kind.  I thought the "some kind of bird" comment was interesting though, because cetaceans make sounds in a fundamentally different manner than we do.  They use the museau de singe (translates as monkey's muzzle) also commonly known as phonic lips.  Not that different from squeezing a balloon nozzle shut to squeak, and not that different from the syrinx used by birds.  Vocal chords are so passe'!

I really hope I'm wrong and it's an auklet or something funky.  The world is always more fun when it surprises you!

Was this a summoning?
Rebecca Watson mentions Dr Worm and Dr Worm shows up. 

A witch, a witch.


I thought the WTN this week was a blade being pressed into dry ice.
Standing by to cut the whale line if I have fastened my iron to a guess that sounds too deep.

I do believe both of those were developed in the US.

Both were developed in Germany, actually.  Mustard gas was used by the Germans against the Allies in WWI.  Zyklon B was simply a cyanide fumigant with the usual warning irritant (ethyl bromoacetate) removed.
