David's back from vacation with top stories: Spanish man takes six years off work unnoticed; and Mom steals candy from juvey. Then, it's The Science Appliance with Dan Riskin. Dan tells David how ants amputate their nest-mates, about a man getting stung by a bea in the eyeball, that high ceilings make bad students, and about "The Puppy Blues." After that, it's Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday with therapist and social worker Gary Direnfeld. David and Gary take on the serious topic of childhood sexual abuse, sparked by the article in the Toronto Star by Alice Munro's daughter. Finally, professor of global geophysics at University of Leeds Jonathan Mound discusses how the Earth's core has slowed so much it's moving backward.
