Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray.
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you should Know?
Speaker 1: From House Stuff Works dot Com. Sometimes science goes too far,
Speaker 1: dog matters twisted but true. Wednesday's at ten on Science. Hey,
Speaker 1: and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W.
Speaker 1: Chuck Bryant. Say, hey, Chuck, Chuck. That makes the stuff
Speaker 1: you should know. It's such an old joke. Yeah, terrible,
Speaker 1: It's still It's got a lot of little staying power
Speaker 1: and little else. It has as much staying power as
Speaker 1: cat urine. Chuck, you want to hear the history of
Speaker 1: the microwave? Woman? I love in forty seconds or less?
Speaker 1: All right back in, a guy named Percy Spencer was
Speaker 1: touring the labs of the Raytheon Corporation when he passed
Speaker 1: by a magnetron. If he had unpopped popcorn in his pocket,
Speaker 1: then I'm leaving right now. We'll get to that. That
Speaker 1: doesn't count against my forty second I thought, like popcorn
Speaker 1: popped in his pocket? No, he had a chocolate bar
Speaker 1: in his pocket and it melted, And he's really, what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on here? So he actually ran
Speaker 1: and got a bag of popping corn and it started
Speaker 1: popping too. And then he finished the whole thing off
Speaker 1: spectacularly by getting a pot and a raw egg and
Speaker 1: holding it near the magnetron, and it exploded into his
Speaker 1: buddy's face. Anyway, he figured out he was producing microwaves. No,
Speaker 1: he lived to be an old man, but he figured
Speaker 1: out that this was producing microwaves, and he um put
Speaker 1: it in an invention. So everybody has a microwave oven
Speaker 1: today has a tiny magnetron in their house. He put
Speaker 1: it in an invention. Yeah, that's a unique way of
Speaker 1: saying that look good for him. Yeah. Anyway, the point
Speaker 1: of this is that that's the Raytheon Corporation where it's
Speaker 1: this discovery was made. And the Raideon Corporation was largely
Speaker 1: a government funded outfit, so we would call that a
Speaker 1: government experiment of sorts. It's not the craziest though, Chuck,
Speaker 1: Not not even close. No, you want to talk about
Speaker 1: some crazy government experiments, maybe five of them today. It
Speaker 1: sounds like a great idea. All right, let's do it, man.
Speaker 1: This is written by Robert Lamb with stuff from the
Speaker 1: science Lab we should point out. Yeah, I hope we're
Speaker 1: not stealing this article. Is here gonna do this at
Speaker 1: some point I didn't even ask him. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: he wanted to. It's too late now, which it was
Speaker 1: the first one here, Josh about transplanting heads onto other bodies,
Speaker 1: let's talk about that. Yeah, because think about it, Chuck,
Speaker 1: think about the applications of this. I mean, like, technically,
Speaker 1: if you don't look at it as a head transplant,
Speaker 1: you can make the case that this is a full
Speaker 1: body transplant. Appere's on if you're the chicken or the egg.
Speaker 1: I guess it definitely definitely makes sense a little. We'll
Speaker 1: find out when the people right in um the but
Speaker 1: this is something that we could definitely use if we
Speaker 1: could attach the spinal cord. Uh yeah, I cannot. Is
Speaker 1: that the thing that's holding it back? Well, that's the
Speaker 1: thing that keeps the result from being a quadriplegic. Oh
Speaker 1: what they said that applications. Maybe if someone just wants
Speaker 1: to live, they'd rather live as a quadriplegic than die. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: especially if you're already a quadriplegic and you're used to it,
Speaker 1: but you have oregan failure. Hey, that's pretty random. But
Speaker 1: I let's think about it. We talked about brail. What
Speaker 1: if you are blind and handless. I guess you used
Speaker 1: it that e readers that read things to you out loud, Chuck.
Speaker 1: This idea of full body transplantation does have its roots
Speaker 1: in government experiments, specifically as far back as night when
Speaker 1: a US surgeon named Charles Guthrie decided that he wanted
Speaker 1: to find out if he could put one dog's head
Speaker 1: on another dog's body. And by god, Chuck Bryant has
Speaker 1: a picture of it, the two headed dog. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: actually did this, and it was not replacing one head
Speaker 1: with another like you said. He he attached a dog's
Speaker 1: head and underneath the chin of the other dogs, so
Speaker 1: they were in fact chinna chin, and the other dog
Speaker 1: was like going right. So you actually did this, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to say it worked
Speaker 1: because the second head could only um lawl about. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They said that there were some um, just normal um
Speaker 1: reflex reactions and and sounds, but not dog type sounds. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It couldn't fetch the paper or anything. Right. Yeah, so uh,
Speaker 1: I guess you could make the case though, that that
Speaker 1: was successful. At the very least, they got a pretty
Speaker 1: cool picture out of it. Well, blood flowed from one
Speaker 1: head to the other, through the brain and then back out.
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. It worked in a way. You're
Speaker 1: gonna post that pick on the blog. So that was
Speaker 1: the first one. That's nineteen o eight. That's pretty old timey,
Speaker 1: right indeed. And then we cut to nineteen fifty one
Speaker 1: when the Soviets are saying, oh, the Americans are doing it, well,
Speaker 1: well you gotta do it too. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of that going on back then. There really was, UM
Speaker 1: And actually before that, there was an experiment in the forties,
Speaker 1: right right, This thing is on YouTube. If you type
Speaker 1: in experiments in the Revival of Dead organisms, you're going
Speaker 1: to find a nineteen forties UM instructional film esque film
Speaker 1: like that UM that shows people killing dogs and reviving
Speaker 1: them and apparently, well it's not very graphic. It's more like, here,
Speaker 1: have some cyanide dog, and then they bring the dog back. UM.
Speaker 1: Also supposedly, if you can just barely see it, that
Speaker 1: it's a dog's head that's moving and like responding and everything,
Speaker 1: but it's being kept alive externally through like an artificial
Speaker 1: heart and lungs, pumping blood into the brain and back
Speaker 1: out for circulation. I don't need to see that. They
Speaker 1: don't show a good shot of it, so it's possible
Speaker 1: it's a trick. But I was reading a post on
Speaker 1: it that showed that this stuff was real. They actually
Speaker 1: did kill this dog and revive. It was very scientific.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a joke or a hoax. Um, so we
Speaker 1: have been able to was that Vladimir was that someone else?
Speaker 1: I think it was Vladimir because it was the Soviets.
Speaker 1: He was a sick puppy. He was, yes, And speaking
Speaker 1: of puppy, he did the same dog thing where he
Speaker 1: would He transplanted twenty puppy heads with head, shoulders, lungs,
Speaker 1: four limbs, and an esophagus that emptied outside of the dog,
Speaker 1: transplanted them onto other dogs, and some of them live.
Speaker 1: One lived as long as twenty nine days, and they
Speaker 1: actually uh, there's some log notes here. Nine am Donor's
Speaker 1: head eagerly drank water or milk and tugged as if
Speaker 1: trying to separate itself from the recipient's body. And one
Speaker 1: of them bit one of the staff members, which was
Speaker 1: my favorite part. And one of them bit the other
Speaker 1: dog on the ear, and the dog tried to shake
Speaker 1: it off, so they were actual dog things happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty puppy esque. Yeah, and awful, this six sickens.
Speaker 1: I didn't eve want to talk about this really sick, yeah,
Speaker 1: really dead on the other dolphins. It's like the cutest
Speaker 1: horrific experiment ever. The only way it could be cuter
Speaker 1: is if they transplanted unicorn heads. There were pictures of
Speaker 1: this by that I couldn't even go there, well, chuck.
Speaker 1: This horrible type of experimentation culminated in nineteen seventy when
Speaker 1: an American nerves surgeon named Robert J. White transplanted the
Speaker 1: living head of one monkey onto the headless body of another,
Speaker 1: and it worked, and he was almost bitten by the monkey.
Speaker 1: That's how they considered as a success. Apparently everybody in
Speaker 1: the lab cheered when the monkey tried to bite the guy.
Speaker 1: And then after a week they put it down. So
Speaker 1: good for these crazy, crazy people. And meanwhile, um, of
Speaker 1: course the Soviets and the Americans were shooting chimps into space.
Speaker 1: They're gonna return again, and you know they're up there
Speaker 1: still little chip bodies or bounds probably at this point
Speaker 1: in some in space capsules. Well, you have to wonder,
Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of process of physics called degradation
Speaker 1: does a monkey undergo after death in space? I don't know,
Speaker 1: Answer me, I don't know. All right, let's move on,
Speaker 1: chuck to acoustic kitty. Yeah there animal abuse, Well it
Speaker 1: actually is. And um this was courtesy once again of
Speaker 1: the Cold War, the US and Soviet superpowers battling each
Speaker 1: other for position, and the c i A spent maybe
Speaker 1: as much as twenty million, at least ten millions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's just settle in fifteen and five years and
Speaker 1: five years to implant uh listening devices into a cat,
Speaker 1: complete with battery and an antenna in the tail. Little kitty,
Speaker 1: Acoustic kitty is what they called it, and it was
Speaker 1: a single cat. They were they were. They alternately surgically
Speaker 1: outfitted it with UM eavesdropping devices and tried to train
Speaker 1: it because think about it, the presence of a cat
Speaker 1: is not the most you know, cats wander into places,
Speaker 1: they kind of go wherever they want, so it makes
Speaker 1: kind of it makes sense. The logic is there to
Speaker 1: an extent. But apparently the cat was just a little
Speaker 1: too willful for this. Um. They figured out that it
Speaker 1: went off and just kind of left whenever it got hungry,
Speaker 1: so they tried to um surgically manipulate um it's it's
Speaker 1: sense of hunger so it wouldn't get hungry as often.
Speaker 1: And then finally chuck it threw itself under a cab.
Speaker 1: Well you know why why it was It was the
Speaker 1: Kitty Acoustic Kitties first test mission. They they sent the
Speaker 1: little kitty on its first eavesdropping mission to eaves drop
Speaker 1: on these two Russian men in a park, really in
Speaker 1: a public park, and so they dropped the cat off
Speaker 1: and then that's when the cat ran from the cab
Speaker 1: and got killed, which is not funny at all. It's
Speaker 1: been to watch a cat get hit by a car,
Speaker 1: but imagine a ten million dollar cat that you spent
Speaker 1: five years training get hit by a car and its
Speaker 1: first mission. That's the part that I think was funny.
Speaker 1: It was the egg on the face of the US government,
Speaker 1: and there was egga plenty, and they kept it under
Speaker 1: wraps until two thousand one when that stuff was declassified
Speaker 1: but still partially censored. I read part of it. It's
Speaker 1: you know, all the fun words are blanked over right,
Speaker 1: you know, like who was doing it? Actually, there was
Speaker 1: one part left in their CIA officer Victor Marcetti. He
Speaker 1: addressed the hunger thing. He said, they put in a
Speaker 1: wire to thwart the hunger. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: that means. Yeah, I don't. I read that as well,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how you would do that, I mean,
Speaker 1: keeping grilling out. I have no idea. Probably so also
Speaker 1: awful because it involves animals, Chuck, Josh, have you ever
Speaker 1: heard of zero point energy? I have had you before today. No,
Speaker 1: I hadn't either. What is that, Josh? So from what
Speaker 1: I can gather, it's a it's a something that comes
Speaker 1: out of quantum mechanics. It's not supposed to happen under
Speaker 1: classical physics, but in quantum physics it does apparently innate
Speaker 1: energy that a particle has, even after all other external
Speaker 1: energies are removed right saying in a vacuum um. So
Speaker 1: they figured out that this means that particles have innate energy.
Speaker 1: But one of the um I guess more surprising aspects
Speaker 1: of reducing a particle to zero point energy is that
Speaker 1: they kind of come in and out of existence randomly,
Speaker 1: which is not supposed to happen, but apparently this is.
Speaker 1: It is especially susceptible to it when you completely remove gravity. Right,
Speaker 1: And this pursuit, the pursuit of figuring out how to
Speaker 1: use zero gravity machines to wink things in and out
Speaker 1: of existence was supposedly a Nazi experiment, huh. Right, And
Speaker 1: the Nazis were famous for many many odd, unproven, unsubstantiated
Speaker 1: experiments that they may or may not have conducted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one was real. The Nazi Bell, that's what they
Speaker 1: called it. Yeah, that's what Dr Cook called it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Dr Cook is Nick Cook, right, the Jane's Defense
Speaker 1: Weekly editor who kind of went off the deep end.
Speaker 1: I wrote a book review on Salon of his book,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, he's he's a very very respected journalist. Um,
Speaker 1: but he really got into conspiratorial world with this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He wrote the book The Hunt for Zero Point, where
Speaker 1: he broke it all down basically and alleged that this
Speaker 1: all happened. And he's not some crackpot, or he wasn't
Speaker 1: at the time, right, No, So he was, he was,
Speaker 1: you know, a respected, respected dude. What he believes is
Speaker 1: that an s S officer in charge of the V
Speaker 1: two rocket program, which eventually got the U S to
Speaker 1: the Moon, because don't forget we under operation or Project
Speaker 1: paper Clip, we UM drafted tons of Nazi scientists, including
Speaker 1: Werner von Brown who got us to the Moon. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, apparently the guy who was running the V
Speaker 1: two rocket program UM traded this information about zero gravity
Speaker 1: or zero point energy to the US. And uh, Cook's
Speaker 1: hole point is that some guy comes up with this
Speaker 1: real method of using an anti gravity machine, uh for
Speaker 1: military application, and he, I guess came up with a
Speaker 1: file from UM someone in the Defense department saying there's
Speaker 1: no real scientific or there's no military application here. So
Speaker 1: Cook's premise was there. Totally was, and they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: said that if they didn't already know how to do it,
Speaker 1: of course, So he was saying that we knew how
Speaker 1: to do that, and that the whole Foo fighter phenomenon,
Speaker 1: UFOs sightings, all that is evidence of us having figured
Speaker 1: out zero point gravity? How about that? And I did
Speaker 1: a little extra digging around and I found out there's
Speaker 1: this guy named Tim tim Bentura and he runs something
Speaker 1: called American Anti Gravity and he claims this is five
Speaker 1: years ago. And as usual, when you when you can't
Speaker 1: find follow up info, it's usually not a good sign.
Speaker 1: But he claims five years ago that a fellow named
Speaker 1: John Dearing of s A r A, the Scientific Applications
Speaker 1: and Research Associates, who actually have a lot of government contracts,
Speaker 1: are not crack pops either. They supposedly replicated key elements
Speaker 1: of the Nazi bell technology anti gravity propulsion, and they
Speaker 1: supposedly recreated this like five years ago, and they were
Speaker 1: looking for funding and uh, we're too secretive to get
Speaker 1: the funding that they needed, and it's it was kind
Speaker 1: of up in the air. Last I checked from from
Speaker 1: what I understand, and I don't know if it's necessarily
Speaker 1: zero point gravity, but using quantum mechanics, people have figured
Speaker 1: out how to get discs to levitate. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not without it's not outside of the realm possibility.
Speaker 1: He's got stuff on the YouTube, does he? Yeah? But
Speaker 1: so does David Blaine. He's a big phony. What No, Josh,
Speaker 1: he doesn't levitate. It's a trick. What let's talk about sex,
Speaker 1: baby in space? Yeah, sex in space. They have researched
Speaker 1: this um behind closed doors, obviously, although NASA says that
Speaker 1: they've never done such a thing, but clearly they have
Speaker 1: because they want to colonize the Moon in space one day,
Speaker 1: and you know you gotta know everything. Remember we talked
Speaker 1: about well the doom state, lunar doomsday ark safe humanity,
Speaker 1: that they were going to have their sexy business up
Speaker 1: there if they had to wait a century. Stephen Hawking said,
Speaker 1: it's essential for human survival. It depends on being able
Speaker 1: to appropriate in space. Okay, in space. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: you don't have to be Stephen Hawking to realize that
Speaker 1: you gotta reproduce or else the species dies out right,
Speaker 1: no matter whether we're here in orbit or on the
Speaker 1: Moon or on Mars or wherever. Right. So, yes, of
Speaker 1: course NASA would engage in this kind of stuff. Specifically,
Speaker 1: there was a guy named Pierre Kohler. He was a
Speaker 1: French astronomer. Uh. And he wrote a book in two
Speaker 1: thousand called The Last Mission, and he said that four
Speaker 1: years earlier NASA um checked out ten different zero gravity
Speaker 1: um sexual positions on a mission. NASA says no, and
Speaker 1: and Pierre Cohler was like and pretty, yeah, you're on Earth.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you some pictures later. Uh. And obviously, like
Speaker 1: everything else's, Soviets have done the same with her cosmonauts supposedly, uh, cosmonauts.
Speaker 1: No the uh what the research into sex with the
Speaker 1: type of sexual positions? Oh, I don't know. Human docking procedures.
Speaker 1: Well that's what Robert called it. I think he put
Speaker 1: it in quotes. I thought that Many is just making
Speaker 1: a ride joke. We'll have to ask him. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I love that human docking procedure. Uh. Russia Russian cosmonaut
Speaker 1: Valentia Valentina Tereshkova got pregnant nineteen seventy four by another cosmonaut,
Speaker 1: So there were some that said this was probably a
Speaker 1: maybe not done in space, but done just to see,
Speaker 1: like set up to see what would happen, like has
Speaker 1: his sperm been affected, has her uterus been affected? Whatever?
Speaker 1: But it all turned out fine. Their baby was completely normal, right,
Speaker 1: So that's a good sign. And some wonder if possibly
Speaker 1: that union was in a science experiment in and of
Speaker 1: itself just to find out. Um. But yeah, we have
Speaker 1: such a little grasp on what the effects of zero
Speaker 1: gravity have on the human body exactly that I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a worthwhile look, it could be a sperm killer,
Speaker 1: who knows, it could do all sorts of crazy stuff
Speaker 1: like remember the uh Sarcopenia episode where the neurons, the
Speaker 1: type of neurons that die off and are replaced or
Speaker 1: taken over by the other type of neurons happens the
Speaker 1: opposite the astronauts who have been in zero gram and
Speaker 1: it does here on Earth. Who would expect that? Sure,
Speaker 1: so you got it tested out. Have you heard of
Speaker 1: the two suit? No, it's a number two suit. This
Speaker 1: I don't know why it was invented by an actress
Speaker 1: and poet, but it was. Her name is Vana Bonta,
Speaker 1: and she invented the suit that basically keeps two people attached.
Speaker 1: You can put two suits together, if you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, to make one suit, and there's zippers and
Speaker 1: there's velcro, and there's openings and there's places to go
Speaker 1: cool within this suit, and each one has this sigrette
Speaker 1: tucked into like exactly the arm. And the idea is
Speaker 1: to stabilize human proximity so you can stay attached without
Speaker 1: much effort, so you can save your effort for coitus.
Speaker 1: Are they I don't know if you can buy them,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if the government said, hey and
Speaker 1: give me some of those two suits, But I mean
Speaker 1: it sounds like they gave us tang. Yeah exactly. So
Speaker 1: let's get get the two suits out there, and let's
Speaker 1: get to the last one, shall we, Buddy the Psychic
Speaker 1: Cold War? Yeah, did you see Men Who Stic Goats?
Speaker 1: I love that movie. I didn't see it. I loved it.
Speaker 1: It got like a forty seven percent pretty much across
Speaker 1: the board, like half and half. It was a good movie.
Speaker 1: Was it based on this or was it just fanciful
Speaker 1: goings on of George Clooney? No, there was your I'm
Speaker 1: writing a blog post on this today. There really was
Speaker 1: a programs that this thing was kind of based on.
Speaker 1: The characters were based on real life people. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll show it to you. So we're talking about his
Speaker 1: psychic spies, right, Yeah, one, they're they're both the Soviets
Speaker 1: and the Americans were engaged in paranormal research. Um. This
Speaker 1: the Soviets since the twenties, um, and then the US
Speaker 1: and the forties or fifties was like, oh, we better
Speaker 1: catch up with this, and never did. They're reading our minds,
Speaker 1: so we need to read their minds exactly. Um. And
Speaker 1: there's a ton of applications for this. For the military lecture,
Speaker 1: for example, if you're manning a submarine and you can't surface,
Speaker 1: why don't you just send whatever information you need using
Speaker 1: your mind and the mind of somebody else, or why
Speaker 1: I get out of bed. Yeah, that's what I would
Speaker 1: do if it's a great one to just beat my
Speaker 1: messages everywhere. UM a man machine interface where we could
Speaker 1: UM basically psychically link ourselves to a computer to interact
Speaker 1: with it, uploaded download data. So does this stuff work though, Josh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it real? It's real that they
Speaker 1: did the research. They definitely did do the research, and
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three, the Rain Corporation was asked to
Speaker 1: create a brief study on who was doing better at it,
Speaker 1: and the Rain Corporation said the Soviets big time. The
Speaker 1: Soviets were much more UM investigatory with the biological, the
Speaker 1: physiological aspects of this the basis of it, whereas with
Speaker 1: Americans it was UM psychology. All psychological based UM theory
Speaker 1: and practice were kept separate with America. In in UM
Speaker 1: the Soviet study, they came up with theories and then
Speaker 1: tested them like it was really scientific. So if anybody
Speaker 1: was going to get anywhere with it, the Rancorporation concluded
Speaker 1: that it was definitely going to be the Soviets. Well,
Speaker 1: good for the riskies. Yeah, they they still are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know we had Operation or Project Stargate going
Speaker 1: until n so that was it. Well that's remote viewing basically.
Speaker 1: And at one point, Operation Stargate had twenty two active
Speaker 1: military and or private remote viewers on staff. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much that pays remote viewing a bit.
Speaker 1: It pays pretty good. Especially, I'll bet you can pretty
Speaker 1: much demand whatever salary you want. It's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll go higher somebody else. Boy got downother home depot.
Speaker 1: Those guys hanging up front, see if they can remote
Speaker 1: view for you. Well that's about it for crazy government experiments.
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a ton more on the site though.
Speaker 1: You know obviously the c i A experimented with LSD. Buddy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's number one on our list. That's why I
Speaker 1: got a whole podcast that one. Um. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is type maybe government and experiments in the
Speaker 1: handy search bar at how stuff works dot com, and
Speaker 1: that leads us to listener mail. Josh got a couple
Speaker 1: of quick ones today. Okay, this one is from Sasha
Speaker 1: a k a. Sparky and Sasha Sparky says a recent
Speaker 1: podcast mentioned pika and that's when you eat things that
Speaker 1: aren't food, and it reminded me of my own five
Speaker 1: year old cravings. As a young girl, I had an
Speaker 1: insatiable craving from match heads. Huh. Yeah, sulfur huh. I
Speaker 1: guess so I would bite down on the matches and
Speaker 1: scrape off the heads and eat them. And I kept
Speaker 1: a secret stash of Pilford matches under my pillow. I
Speaker 1: just think remember the salty sulfurus flavor and chalky texture.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure anyone of my family caught on, and
Speaker 1: I apparently outgrew it eventually. I'm not sure if this
Speaker 1: is a unique pike of craving or not. I just
Speaker 1: thought i'd share it from Sasha Sparky a k a.
Speaker 1: The match eater. Maybe that's why she's sparky. Either that
Speaker 1: or her love of sulfur just developed into a love
Speaker 1: of arson. And this one is from Tony and you're
Speaker 1: gonna like this one. Don't know if you actually read this?
Speaker 1: Uh one? Am Tony Rhotas. He's a business director for
Speaker 1: Gamma Vacuum, and he says guys, just thought you might
Speaker 1: like to know that I am sending an email from
Speaker 1: a hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, and have a couple of
Speaker 1: meetings tomorrow. It's cern awesome trying to sell them our
Speaker 1: vacuum pumps. Basically, the large had drink a lighter. Guys.
Speaker 1: He's a traveling vacuum salesman and he just said he
Speaker 1: wanted to know that one of he has a traveling
Speaker 1: vacuum salman. He said, he just wanted to let us
Speaker 1: know that one of the stuff you should know, Army
Speaker 1: foot soldiers is on the premises conducting business. Good for him,
Speaker 1: Thank you tone me, and then he sent back a
Speaker 1: follow up email after emailed him and said that he
Speaker 1: wants Jerry to say hi, and she refuses, but he
Speaker 1: requests it is it against religion? I would respect that,
Speaker 1: but out of my own self interest and not to
Speaker 1: look like a jackass. I'm not sure what that means.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's pretty much it. Maybe a horse whinny
Speaker 1: a sound effect. Just to know that she's there, is
Speaker 1: what he says. Jerry's going with the against her religion thing.
Speaker 1: It looks like okay, se remains mute. That coupled with
Speaker 1: a good horse whinny will get your places. Nay? Is
Speaker 1: that a good horse whinny? Yes, and it's actually amish
Speaker 1: for no. Are there questions that should not be asked,
Speaker 1: experiments that should not be performed, doors that should remain
Speaker 1: forever closed. Sometimes science goes too far. Join me for
Speaker 1: this new series that explodes real life stories of the
Speaker 1: dark side of science. Dog Matters Twisted but True Wednesday's
Speaker 1: attend on Science Wow. If you have ever seen the
Speaker 1: movie The Thing with Two Heads and want to tell
Speaker 1: us what you thought about it, you just go ahead
Speaker 1: and send that in an email. Um. Also, if you're
Speaker 1: going Toscern, we definitely want to hear about that as well.
Speaker 1: You can email with that stuff podcast at how stuff
