Our monthly round-up of interesting, weird, or just gross news articles from around the world, with the bad penny of guests, Ash.

This month we discovered the alter-ego King Crumb, discussed Year 6 disco playlists, Loch Ness, Nessie bait (sorry Tyler), AI and why we're doing it wrong, near death experiences, a 1982 quiz Aimee Envelope, a British Yeti, and scissors in a "peculiar" place.

Also, Rooney is now Santiago. Because pseudo-pseudonyms are cool.
