On this episode we bring you a thankful and thoughtful look into the strangest most wild stories we could find this week, including our final update on Pluto's astrology for the next 20 years as it is placed firmly in the sign of Aquarius, another update on how venting doesn't stop anger but apparently progressive relaxation does, NASA's Mars lander from the 1970s might have killed the life it was sent to detect, the UK is building a "superweapon" of a laser that is a quintillion times brighter than sunlight, as well as a report of a new study that says ginger is an anti-aging powerhouse! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
