Summary

00:00:00 - The theme this week is 2.0. Meaning the Paleopals want y'all to create some content, and y'all did! Each story this week comes as a submission from the Paleoposse. Thanks, everyone! The Paleopals Patrick, Jacob and Ryan have formed a pack to hunt some science, as suggested by Jesse W., first by debating the potential of pack hunting dinosaurs as opposed to just good wholesome group shredding post-mortem Komodo dragon style. Fun for everyone!

00:18:26 - Unfortunately, the one thing the Paleopals can't easily crowd source are drinks, but they thought to bring there own. Jacob gets down with Irene by having a Magic Hat #9, fingers-crossed for continued availability post-storm. Ryan, with no intended commentary on the Paleoposse, sups a Certified Evil and makes Patrick commit the evil sin of envy. But Patrick is also packing tasty liquid in the form of a fresh hop ale from Sierra Nevada.

00:25:27 - Even Trailer Trash Talk got out-sourced this week! Brent suggested the trailer Margin Call on the Facebook page, and the Paleopals oblige. Will a stock market thriller get a triple A rating from the guys? Listen to find out!

00:36:32 - Elliot M. thought the guys might like to talk about a trilobite orgy. Elliot M. was right. Safe for work if you're not an arthropod or overly-sensitive. And as promised, here's a PDF (head to sciencesortof.com) with WAY more info on crustacean mating, if that's what you're into.

00:47:22 - Jacob has an e-mail from Alysia K. about the ethics of cloning Neanderthals. The guys barely scratch the surface and want to know what the crowd thinks. Good thing we gave this one a whole segment, no way it would fit as a mere PaleoPOW. Speaking of which...

01:08:15 - PaleoPOWs are lot like the rest of the show: user submitted. Short and sweet this week. Patrick has two tweets from Dustin K. and Ben V. H. Jacob has a niceFacebook comment from Georgia C. and Ryan has an e-mail from Lazlo complaining about accents (not ours) and asking for more politics.

Thanks for listening AND submitted such great stories for the week! While you scour the internet for more stuff to send us, why not drop by the Paleocave Blog?

0:03.9	Hello, and welcome to Science Sort of.
0:13.0	Hello, and welcome to Science Sort of. This is Episode 101. I'm your host, Ryan, and joining me to talk about things that are science, things that

0:25.6	What's up, paleo punks? And Patrick.
0:28.2	Hey, it's a rare treat to podcast with Jacob, especially in a three-man show.
0:32.9	I know. It's unusually quiet without Ben here trying to distract us.

0:44.2	Well, this week's theme, we're doing something kind of cool.
0:46.7	We're calling this week Science Sort of 2.0.
0:49.5	And our theory behind it was that just as Web 2.0 allows for a lot of user generated content,
0:56.8	kind of a bottom-up grassroots content creation mechanism, we decided for this week on Science
1:01.8	Sort of that we were going to let you the user create the content.
1:06.1	And so this week we're featuring three stories as kind of an extended paleo palo palo
1:11.6	segment where every story we talk about today came from one of you guys sending it
1:16.9	into us. So each of us picked one stories for a total of three science stories and
1:21.2	they're all paleo pals that would have been way too long for the regular segment and
1:25.1	we're just going to do them as an entire show today.
