M's not available this week, so Josh takes a look at an oldy but a goody - honest to goodness cattle mutilations.

In the sequel to last week's episode, we look at Part II of Michael Shermer's book "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational". This part is all about determining which conspiracies are real - judging them, if you will. So the title works - it's not just a gratuitous pop culture reference!
