In This Week’s Show, episode 191, we call in ghosts to our new job at the Siberian ark-trailer park.
Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Justin Trudeau hasn’t struck us down yet, we are wishing him a Happy Canada Day!
Shea’s Life Lesson
Like his fabled namesake, Shea’s presence today is only legend.
Jenn’s Actual Lesson
Did you know that female KGB spies during the Cold War (what few there were), had a signature smell? All were required to wear Chanel #5 as part of their personas. (I have a Russia-trivia heavy episode today.)

Just call in sick…
http://bit.ly/2KDaDsT
Eli Aldinger is a dingwad. Not wanting to go to work one dark and stormy day, Eli — instead of calling in sick like a normal person — hit three people with his car. Driving down the sidewalk, he managed to run over two people and graze another, but don’t worry, he wasn’t really trying to kill anyone, just “to injure.” See, he was tired of working in the cafeteria at McMenamins Anderson school, so “I had to change something in my life, so I hit three people with my car,” and now he’s on his way to jail where he’s looking forward “spending a few years in a room.”
Steve - Stork brings more than a child. A polish charity learned the hard way that using a cell phone tracker to keep tabs on the movement of a stork can get very expensive. “Radio Poland” an ecological group had put a cell tracker on a stork to monitor its migratory movements, but some 3700 miles from Poland in South Sudan, they lost track of it. Well, someone in Sudan got a hold of the tracker and moved it’s SIM to another phone and made over 20 hours of calls, the $2700 bill of which is the charity’s responsibility. http://bit.ly/2KPNGC2

Right in the mangoes!
http://bit.ly/2KLYPnk
Nashik municipal Corp (NMC - a regulatory board as best as I can tell) has sent a “show cause notice” to Sambhaji Bhide — a right-wing activist and fruit fucker — to prove his claims that eating his mangoes will make you have a boy child… which is especially impressive if you’re infertile. According to Sambhaji “If a couple wants a male child they will have it after eating these mangoes. This mango is useful for those facing infertility," adding that 150 of 180 couples who’ve eaten his mangos now have kids… so, two things, 1, he doesn’t seem to be selling a lot of mangoes, and 2, per the local government, publish the names and fucking prove it.
Steve - Say Cheese! Lots and lots and lots of cheese as a matter of fact. Right now, the US has the most cheese stockpiled since record keeping began in 1917; 1.385 Billion pounds as a matter of fact.
