In This Week’s Show Episode 153, we’re battening down the hatches, boarding up the windows, and hiding under our beds because it’s Friday the 13th!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Kalfu, the Haitian god of curses, bad luck and misfortune, hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that if you suspect a gas leak at home, locate it by striking a match in each room until a loud explosion reveals the source of the escaping gas.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia? According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, fear of Friday the 13th affects between 17 and 21 million Americans.

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Also, really, don’t look that one up!

My 2 favorite things Atheism and Beer!

By: CaptainFresh2008

These guys have managed to bring together beer and atheism in a single podcast without going over the top in either subject. I’m getting tired of the "ranting" Atheist podcasts and these guys have the right balance - well done!Captain Fresh (Melbourne, Oz)

Headlines

HL1 - The Cake Is a Lie - http://bit.ly/2yfhFMA

Finally, we can sleep in peace knowing we’re not living in the Matrix!

* Scientists have discovered that it’s impossible to model the physics of our universe on even the biggest computer.

-- What that means is that we’re probably not living in a computer simulation.

* Theoretical physicists Zohar Ringel and Dmitry Kovrizhin (Two very smart dudes who we have the utmost respect for! But don’t lie, you chuckled ;) ) from the University of Oxford and the Hebrew University in Israel applied Monte Carlo simulations (computations used to generate probabilities) to quantum objects moving through various dimensions and found that classical systems cannot create the mathematics necessary to describe quantum systems.
