Summary

This week we're going around the world -- in 80 days, no less! Well, actually, Andrew read Jules Verne's classic globetrotting adventure Around the World in Eighty Days, but we still TALK about a lot of places even if we don't go there.

Other travel tips include cultural broad strokes. fast food pranks, and scientific romance.
