TW: Murder, racism, war, mention of rape  

Welcome back, Weirdos and WATCH OUT FOR VOORHEES!! it's another Friday the 13th episode!

  Every time we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week is chock-full of crazy.   Lauren starts us off by reminding us the reason for the season-- the season of course being Friday the 13th and the reason being FEAR.  Lauren breaks down some of the WORST most horrible horrific things to have ever occurred on Friday the 13th - just to get our blood flowing.   Then Ashley comes in with a WHOPPER of a CONSPIRACY THEORY!!  Did you know that some people believe that the reason the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 was because they were attempting to reverse engineer alien technology and they knew that there was information hidden in ancient sumerian texts & artifacts that held the secrets they were missing?  SOUNDS NUTS but hear us out-- there might be something to this one.   Then Lauren finishes off strong with a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD and a trip to the Wisconsin Dells.  What is a dell you ask?  Nobody knows.  We talk about water parks, haunted saloons, creepy TCBYs, clown museums, strange archeological finds and more.  Long live the dells!   Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some reading on today's strange topics!    Thank you SO MUCH for tuning in to another episode of our show.  Prepare yourself for our SEASON 8 FINALE next week with an amazing guest and all the yule tide cheer you can handle.   Follow us on social media @keepitweirdcast   Join our Patreon for BONUS EPISODES every month, discounts on merch and FREE TAROT CARD READINGS! www.patreon.com/keepitweirdcast   SUBSCRIBE to our YOUTUBE at youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   RATE OUR SHOW 5 stars if you please but 4 works too :)   Gilgamesh MESH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh#:~:text=The%20Epic%20of%20Gilgamesh%20was,it%20and%20the%20Hebrew%20Bible.   https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2020/04/30/the-epic-of-gilgamesh/   https://vocal.media/fiction/us-iraq-war-and-the-epic-of-gilgamesh   https://www.newsweek.com/us-invade-iraq-ancient-stargate-1766705   https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/ancient-gilgamesh-tablet-returns-to-iraq-30-years-after-being-looted   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Bogdanos   https://www.law.columbia.edu/news/archive/matthew-bogdanos-83-righting-ancient-wrongs   What the DELL??   https://www.dells.com/info/history/#:~:text=When%20the%20great%20glacial%20lake,rock%20formations%20we%20see%20today.   https://www.cultofweird.com/blog/dark-weird-dead-wisconsin-dells/   https://www.wanderingeducators.com/wisconsin-dells-history-told-sandstone.html
