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

And while a lot of the fun facts we stumble across making into our articles, there are

lots of other 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 Feltman.

I'm Amy Schellenbaum and I'm Claire Malderelli.

So on the weirdest thing I learned this week, we start by each offering up little teas

for some kind of fact that we've picked up in the course of reading, writing, reporting,

wasting time on Reddit, you know, all the things we do in our jobs.

And then we decide which one we absolutely have to hear more about first.

When we've all had the chance to spin our little science yarns, we reconvene and decide

what the weirdest thing we learned this week actually was.

And now you can also vote for your favorite on Twitter and Facebook.

For example, last episode we actually had a tie among the editors present.

And thanks to our online poll, I was declared the winner.

So I think the polls are great.

Fix.

Amy, it's your first time on.

Why don't you give us your teas first?

Okay.

So imagine you are on family vacation.
