Waiting 4 Wrath

In This Week’s Show, episode 165, Aaron says some cleverly-worded shit about this week’s topics

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Strenia hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week i learned that during an earthquake, coffins become huge underground maracas.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson (by Steve)

In ancient Roman religion, Strenia was a goddess of the new year, purification, and wellbeing. On January 1, twigs from Strenia's grove were carried in a procession to the citadel, in a rite first noted as occurring on New Year's Day in 153 BC. She is connected with the custom of exchanging presents (strenae) and good wishes on the first of January.

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

Text message from The Naptin Pope:

* My day job is a telephone engineer.

* Because I design and help oversee construction of buried phone lines, running into water lines is an issue. Water lines are notoriously hard (and/or expensive) to locate by other means (the best way is with precise maps); however, almost universally, our sub-contractors and even the water companies themselves use “divining” (aka water witching) to locate lines. So, of course, we hit them a lot. However, when I’ve brought up that divining doesn’t work, they look at me like I’ve grown a second head. It’s all confirmation bias: they remember when it worked, and make excuses for, or forget, the numerous failures. I once had a contractor try to convince me by walking up to a newly installed water meter and pipe system and show me how the rods “found” them; of course they found them because the upturned soil from the installation was obvious. Meanwhile, we were standing 80 feet from a huge lake.

* Current Egyptian law says atheists can be prosecuted for expressing their disbelief in public but the committee’s proposal would go further and criminalize disbelief itself.

* It would be recalled that in 2014, little more than a week after Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi was sworn in as Egypt’s President, the government announced that it was preparing a national plan to crush every form of atheism.

This Week’s Stories

You’re a Water Wizard Harry! - http://bit.ly/2A7bz2s

in the UK, where nearly a dozen companies have admitted to using divining (or dowsing) rods to detect leaks or figure out where to dig for water.

While there are variations on how these rods work, the version we’re talking about here involves holding two sticks out in front of you, parallel to each other. You walk around the area, and if the rods “detect” water, they’ll pull themselves toward each other and cross. If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

Overall, Le Page says, 10 of the 12 companies she contacted use or allow divination as a way to detect… something. Even though there is literally zero evidence that they work. It’s a waste of time, money, and resources.

In a statement to the Guardian, the company added: “Using dowsing rods to find leaks is an old-fashioned method. We don’t spend money on it, or issue rods to our engineers.”

Severn Trent told the Mirror: “We don’t issue divining rods to our engineers but we believe some of our engineers use them. As long as the leak is found and repaired quickly, by whatever means, we’re happy and so are our customers.”

The industry’s trade body, Water UK, also blamed individual engineers. It said: “The reality is that water companies are spending millions of pounds each year on innovative leakage detection schemes such as thermal imaging drones, sonic listening devices and other high-tech electronic mapping equipment, which has helped reduce leakages by a third since the 1990s, and it’s unlikely that a few individuals doing some unofficial divining has had much impact.

(Also, Dennis, we’re very sorry for your loss and hope your holiday season improves. But your grandmother sounded like a helluva woman.)

We don’t have any new Patrons to thank this week … we think - there have been a lot of changes to patronage in the last few week’s because of Patreon’s bullshit and it’s a bit difficult to sort out, so we’ll just say thank you all for riding out the last few week's worth of Patreon's terrible decision-making!

I say it frequently and gratefully — you are the best people on the internet!

In This Week’s Show, episode 162, a six-year-old deity calls 1-800-Batman to stop Patty praying for him!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Pilumnus (Roman Nature Deity)  hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I have a question… What are the proper seasons greeting for a car salesman? Will I offend anyone if I wish them a Happy Honda Days, or should I go with a Merry Toyotathon? I guess I could just say Happy winter car sale season...

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

In Roman mythology, Pilumnus ("staker") was a nature deity. He ensured children grew properly and stayed healthy. Ancient Romans made an extra bed after the birth of a child in order to ensure the help of Pilumnus. He also taught humanity how to grind grain.

A ceremony to honor the deity involved driving a stake into the ground.

1554 - New Belgium

“Born of a flood and centuries-old Belgian text, 1554 Black Lager beer uses a lager yeast strain and dark chocolaty malts to redefine what dark beer can be. In 1997, a Fort Collins flood destroyed the original recipe our researcher, Phil Benstein, found in the library. So Phil and brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, traveled to Belgium to retrieve this unique style lost to the ages. Their first challenge was deciphering antiquated script and outdated units of measurement, but trial and error (and many months of in-house sampling) culminated in 1554, a highly quaffable dark beer with a moderate body and mouthfeel.”

A possible follow-up, but really just because these people suck and we think it’s funny, the Australian couple that said they’d divorced if the gays could marry (Nick and Sarah Jensen)… didn’t. Apparently, these hateful assholes really were meant to be together… http://bit.ly/2j2rZ1S

“My previous public comments regarding civil divorce never envisaged me separating from my wife, but rather our marriage from the state,” he said in a text message.

“The legislation currently makes it untenable for us to do this under the law. The point we were highlighting and that still stands, however, is the fact that a redefinition of marriage changes the agreement under which we were originally married.

“We will be making no further comment.”

This Show Is My Spirit Animal

By: Vxexec350 (Australia)

As an interstate truck driver in Australia, I spend a lot of time alone. It's great to spend time with friends with common interests. If you like beer, ridiculing the ridiculous and laughing with or at your mates, this show could be your spirit animal too.

In This Week’s Show, episode 161, we do a lil’dance, make a lil’goop, and get down on a rocket tonight!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Frigg (Norse goddess of marriage, motherhood, love and fertility) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

Today I realized that I hope Elon musk never gets in a scandal because elon-gate would be really drawn out.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that Frigg, wife of Odin, was thought to know the destiny of all mortals and immortals? But just like a spiteful woman, she refused to share the details until it was too late.

HL1 - Notes From Yester Rear - http://nyp.st/2iQKYzZ

* Restorers of an 18th-century statue of Jesus Christ in Spain have found a handwritten note hidden up his bum.

* written carefully in calligraphy and dating back to 1777, had been stuffed up the Messiah’s backside by a priest, preserving it like a time capsule.

* It contains key information about the period and details on popular pastimes, the economic situation, political and religious matters, famous people and other topics. As well as naming the statue’s sculptor and including data on local information ranging from agricultural matters to community affairs, the document highlighted common diseases, popular children’s games and even the names of popular bullfighters of the time.

* signed by Joaquin Minguez, priest of the cathedral of Burgo de Osma at the time

* The document, carefully handwritten on both sides of two pages, was found when restorers removed a piece of fabric used to cover Christ’s behind, which exposed a small gap.

* Local historian Efren Arroyo was overwhelmed by the discovery: “It is amazing because it really is unique to find hidden handwritten documents inside such statues.”

GOP Senator and trans-bathroom bill pushing fuckwit from episodes gone by has plead guilty to child sex trafficking as part of a plea deal to avoid even more time in jail because of all the child porn they found during the investigation. So fuck him.

We’d previously talked about a hehe ridesharing service in episode 151 that let’s you ride the finest pieces of plastic ass. Unfortunately, the People's Republic of No Plasti-pussy for you had other ideas. Ther service was cancelled just four days after it’s launch.

HL1 - The Mad Rocket Mant - http://bit.ly/2ide4cT

* Self-taught rocket scientist "Mad" Mike Hughes has built himself a steam powered rocket that he plans to ride up into the … firmament?

* Hughes is a 61-year-old limo driver who’s spent the last few years building a steam-powered rocket out of salvaged parts in his garage. His project has cost him $20,000

* His first test of the rocket will also be the launch date when he straps into his homemade contraption and attempts to hurdle over the ghost town of Amboy, California.

* That launch date was supposed to be the very day we’re recording here at wrathful studios, but now he’s delayed it due to gov-ment interference

* Hughes is confident this will mark the first step toward proving the Earth is flat, after all.

* "I don’t believe in science," said Hughes, whose main sponsor for the rocket is Research Flat Earth. "I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction."

* In 2014, Hughes constructed and launched a rocket. He jumped on a private property in Winkelman, Arizona, and traveled 1,374 feet, about a quarter-mile, before he pulled his parachutes. He said two of the parachutes were at least 20 years old at the time and one didn't open.

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that I'm not a racist. I love all races, except marathons, fuck them!

Jenn’s Actual Lesson
