Do you know what Operation Chrome Dome is? Do you know that it nearly caused North Carolina to be obliterated off the map? Bet you didn't learn about that in your history class. Did you also know that in 1847, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis (the first doctor to say, "Hey, maybe we should wash our hands before treating patients") died in an insane asylum because nobody, including famous doctor Rudolf Virchow, believed him? Learn more in the newest episode of Better Than Human where Jennifer and Amber, the sassy sisters, dig in to some of the stupidest things humans have ever done.

We look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness. 

The Emu, they're the worlds second largest bird. Emus are a cultural icon of the land down under, and are central to Australian mythology. These giant birds can't fly but they can run faster then you, probably can swim faster than you, and are most likely taller than you. Humans once fought a war with emus, which turned out to be a foolish endeavor, because the emus won. Humanity outsmarted ... by a bird, however glorious it may be. 

Join Jennifer and Amber this week on their Emu-tastic Adventures.
 
Note: At around 00:37:45, the island Jennifer is talking about is Crete which is Greece's largest island, and she was referring to dwarf hippos which have been unearthed in the Mediterranean, including Sicily and Crete.

Yes, there are more than two genders. Those who argue otherwise are probably white, middle-aged, conservative males. Gender is nothing more than arbitrary roles decided by society. However, not everyone fits these molds, and not everyone should have to. We can all be better than human by letting everyone be who they want to be. 

Edit: When I said Tattoo Nightmares, I meant Ink Master! Apologies for any confusion.

The myth of the dragon exists across every continent and every culture dating all the way back to some of the very first civilizations of Mesopotamia. Dragons may or may not exist, but if they do, dragons breath fire and yet still cause considerably less damage to the environment than humans. Here's how they're better than humans. 

Welcome to Better than Human the Podcast. In our show, sisters Amber and Jennifer humorously breakdown all the stupid, senseless, or downright silly things humans do and prove, once and for all, humans are not the epitome of the evolutionary chain. In our premiere episode, we'll be talking about North America's cutest, and only, marsupial, the opossum. Join us as we comically and informatively attempt to prove that these normally disregarded animals that many consider to be vermin are actually better than most humans.
