On this episode we bring you an historically accurate but astounding show looking at the weirdest and wildest news stories we could find this week! Including news of space-based imaging scans which prove Herodotus was right and there is a massic labyrinth underneath the Egyptian pyramid of Hawara, historians have definitively proven with DNA studies where the remains of Christopher Columbus lie and have unlocked clues as to his ethnicity, news that scientists in China have invented an insansely fast flash memory technology, and we once again look at the historical record concerning dragons. 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.
