Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 208 - The One Where We Water Down Our Minty Rage!

In This Week’s Show, episode 208, we take the patrons out for calamari sammiches with a side of homeo-drolic robo-cock spiders.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Yal-un ele (the Mongolian mother of fire) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that shirts are crazy, your body goes in one hole and comes out three!

Or

Hot Shots…

Pyrophobia vs. Arachnophobia - http://bit.ly/2zvvupJ

Nothing can quite ruin a relaxing day alone like black widows can. The spider not ScarJo, she ruins nothing. A California man was enjoying a nice evening house-sitting for his parents when he discovered the spider, instead of opting for a reasonable weapon like some toilet paper or a rolled up magazine this gentleman reached for a blowtorch. As expected things quickly escalated as spiders deal with fire slightly better than houses do. Eventually, around 30 firefighters responded to the spider-related fire. Even though the second story of the home and the attic were damaged by the flames, the fire was put out quickly, and the man was able to get out unharmed. The Fresno City firefighters' account tweeted out a common sense message to their residents in light of this bizarre incident. “Please don't use a blowtorch to kill spiders.” no word on of the spider made it out or whether the spiders family are plotting revenge. It might be best to just burn the fucker down.

Database of Fail - http://bit.ly/2zkUGyS - New database is live. Not exciting news you say? Well, maybe not, but it’s good news for those who believe that science is the only true way to define our world. The Retraction Watch Database was made specifically to track retractions of studies from scientific journals. This means a journal no longer stands behind the article and it or the study’s author initiated a retraction. This is not a process taken lightly, but it is on the upswing. Before 2000 there were about 100 retractions per year, now it’s more like 1000, but then again the number of published papers has more than doubled from 2003 to 2016.
