At Popular Science, we report and write dozens of science and heck stories every week.

And while most of the stuff we stumble across makes it into our articles, we also find

plenty of weird facts that we just keep around the office.

So we figured, why not share those with you?

Welcome to the weirdest thing I learned this week from the editors of Popular Science.

I'm Rachel Feldman.

I'm Perbietta Saaja, and I'm Elone Orkommens.

Welcome everyone.

Thank you.

Another wonderful, weird week for us.

And before we get into the weirdest thing I learned this week, I want to take a second

to thank a few of our listeners.

I want to thank all of our listeners because it's great that you're just giving us your

time and attention every two weeks.

We love hearing from you on Twitter, on Instagram, on Facebook, and we hope that you will keep

sending us your thoughts and prayers.

But we want to especially thank a trio of listeners who go above and beyond, who are

the weirdos among the weird.

One of them, we already mentioned previously on the show, Karen Paddy was our first ever

sponsor, you know, individual sponsor, our first listener supporter.

You can do this on anchor through the app or on the anchor website.

You can contribute 99 cents a month.
