Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 161 - The One Where We GOOP Up The Rocket-works

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.

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

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.”

HL2 - #Dana2018 For No More Dicks - http://bit.ly/2jeLJzR

* Meet Dana Nessel, a Democratic candidate for Michigan Attorney General. She’s a Detroit attorney who became Michigan-famous for leading the legal fight for marriage equality in the Great Lakes State. And as her pretty-damn-good online ad suggests, she has a good idea for reducing the amount of sexual harassment by icky men in high office: Get more women in office.

* We’re just gonna let her speak for herself.
