The wonderful world of leeches includes bloodletting, leech collectors, the tempest prognosticator, hirudotherapy, how to properly remove a leech, plus news and pop culture.

Music: "Leeches" by Toren Atkinson

Lyrics

I heard you scream

I tried to ask about it

you had a dream

You wouldn't talk about it

I'm guessing you were down in the bog

you're coming out

to find its covered you with leeches

back in the day

of all the barber-surgeons

not feeling great

a sickness is emergin'

well there was only one thing to do

sit in the chair

they're gonna cover you with leeches

oh what a day

can you even imagine

you lost a thumb

were gonna reattach it

the clotting blood it gums up the works

we'll get it out

we're gonna cover you with leeches

Pull our finger, Soda Jerks! Instead of pretending fooling people is comedy this April Fools we're celebrating the gross that makes you laugh: flatulence! Why we fart, why it smells, and faaaaaarts innnnn spaaaaace! Then fart history with Japanese Fart Scrolls, Benjamin Franklin's demand for fart science, professional flatulists and fartistes, Adolf Hitler's other offensive gas, and is that a soviet sub or is something farting in the ocean?

In the news we'll look at a few people fired for farting on-the-job, fart-lighting injuries, the return of "Shit Dick", and a flatulence-caused stabbing. Then we select some personal favorites and new weird finds in flatulence pop culture.

Plus: The world's oldest known joke!
