When you think of clouds and dangerous behaviours, you immediately think of getting zapped by lightning, or maybe tossed into another county by a tornado – but you never think you’re going to get repeatedly punched in the brain harder than Mike Tyson

On this episode: you’ll learn why telling people the body is 80% water is misquoting a war crime; you’ll learn about the time it rained every day for 2 million years in a row; and you’ll see how a simple cloud can make you look like people tested baseball bats on you, and why you should basically wear a helmet everywhere all the time.

Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 15 minutes where we discussed why everyone was so afraid of Canadians during WWII; you’d hear the abbreviated history of British Evil, including the single greatest act of geographical terrorism of all time; you’d learn why the word moisture makes people want to peel their faces off; you would learn about a European Mountain Goddess who filled a lake with partially decomposed skeletons; and you’d get to hear an actual spin-off prequel disaster from today’s main tale.

My top three-ish list for biggest things falling from the sky go: meteors, then planes, then birds, with hail collecting the pewter medal for coming in fourth. This fits nicely into my “let’s visit more of the world” suite as promised, and more than a few of you have said weather-related episodes are your favourites. Well, it turns out, Bangladesh is beautiful – but it’s currently undergoing a governmental job quota scandal/rubber bullet block party which makes it just a tad unsafe to visit. That said, visiting unsafe places is kind of our whole gig, and at least we got to explore a kind of disaster we’ve never covered before.
