Hello everybody and welcome back to another brand new episode of Decoding the Unknown

as always hello there I'm your host Simon what happened here Katie has written me a script

by the way this one's called death ship orang-Medan and I have no idea how to pronounce orang-Medan. I don't know what it is. I

assume it's some sort of death ship, but I looked it up in both of my pronunciation

dictionaries and it wasn't on there so I just resorted to guessing

around Madam. I don't even know which country it's from. I suppose if I

knew that then I could make a hack attempt at

a hack need, hack need, what's the word like a hacky, but not like to hack into the mainframe,

you know just like a shit attempt at pronouncing it in that accent, which probably would also not be very good.

Katie writes this, I've never read it before, as has become obvious by now, and then afterwards

Jen, our wonderful video editor, is going to add in some music, some memes, some videos.

It's going to be wonderful.

You can have a great time.

Welcome to Decoding the Unknown.

Oh, I should explain if you're watching this rather than listening to it.

If you're watching the YouTube version, you'll see that I am wearing a Christmas sweater.

And I realize that this video is probably going to come out sometime like February.

So, uh, yeah, I'm recording this around Christmas.

You know, so, uh, whatever. The jumper is comfortable and it's warm and it dates this

video and whoever's watching it in July. Hello. Oh yes, I wish it was summer.

Let's go.

There are some stories that have been bandied about for so many years that everyone assumes by now that they're just tall tales
