Does blood in a bowl burn?  Can I get a caffeine high from drinking someone's blood right after that person drank green tea?  All of this and acetone on today's Friday Fact Check! 

This week Flo and Carra discuss way more than you ever probably wanted to know about spontaneous human combustion.  Charles Dickens!   Misogyny!  The wick effect!  Women in the decline of life!  We realize we don't understand how digestion works!  Apologies for the rustlings of paper and the sudden wind storm. Please send us your ideas about SHC and any ideas for future shows at [email protected]

Flo and Carra do a collaborative episode on Victorian mourning practices.  Watch out bog oak and weepers cuff, here we come! 

Join us as we fact check our lightning episode!

Join us as we discuss lightning, fear mongering, rubber soled bathroom shoes and Sha Na Na.

A brief fact check on the tarantula hawk episode that Flo is eager to leave far behind her

Flo and Carra discuss tarantula hawks  and topics include Schmitt's Pain Index, brood nests, shaking pedipalps, aposematic communication, hanging out at the lek, and what it would be like to "just lie there and be a host for something." It's all slightly unpleasant and yet we hope you enjoy this week.

This week Flo fact checks the menstruation episode and we realize how much more we want to learn.  

Join Flo and Carra as they discuss many menstrual wonders!

Today we fact check questions about St. Catherine of Siena's stigmata, levitation, communion wafer-catching abilities, and incorruptible head and thumb.  Please send us any info you have on the story behind the thumb!
