What's the first thing that pops into your head as soon as you hear the name of the dog

breed, Pitbull?

It's probably that they're dangerous, incredibly so, unacceptably so.

Now it is true that due to the shape of their skulls and the size of their bite muscles,

they do indeed have the strongest bite in the canine kingdom.

That's today on Skeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

So surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash Skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEP TO ID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
