In this episode, Mike tells us about the strange story of John Titor, who spent four months on internet message boards back in 2000 telling people he was a time travelling soldier on a mission from 2036, trying to recover an old computer to save the world in his timeline, and then disappeared forever.

We also talk about dissertations, gorillas that speak sign language, and expensive books.
