Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 165 - The One Where We Just Barely Had Enough Material

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.
