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 Prbeta Sa'ha, and I'm Sarah Dredas.

So on the weirdest skyline this week, we start by each offering up a little tease about

some kind of factor story that we found in the course of reading, writing, reporting,

birding, etc.

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

Then once we've all had time to spin our little science yarns, we reconvene and decide

what the weirdest thing we learned this week actually was.

Sarah, would you like to start with your tease?

I'm going to be talking about egg yolks today.

Oh, great.

Just a simple little tease you're there for you.

Prbeta, how about you?

I'm going to go back a few centuries in birding and ornithology history and look at some

of the expert birders who are also part of the Underground Railroad.

Whoa.

In-treating.
