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 Fultman.

I'm Eleanor Cummins.

And I'm Eleanor Earhart.

Ellen is a former pop-sci intern and contributor and the host of a really awesome podcast.

Do you want to talk about your show real quick, Ellen?

I am the host of the podcast Plant Crimes, where we investigate a different crime each week

that has been committed by, against or observed by plants.

So yeah.

I love it.

It is such a good premise.

The best.

This is really my go-to plant expert.

So I feel like house plants and true crime, it's really just a perfect intersection of everyone's

interests these days.

So yeah, everybody should check it out.

But this is not plant crime.

This is the weirdest thing I learned this week.
