0:00.0	Happy anniversary, strangers. Thanks for four wonderful and weird years. And now, here's one of your
0:08.2	most requested topics and the anniversary episode chosen by our patrons. We hope that you enjoy it.
0:19.7	I'm Laura Norton, and this is one strange thing.
0:24.1	The show where we search the nation's news archives for stories that can't quite be explained.
