Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: One night about 60 years ago, physicist Enrico Fermi looked up into the sky and asked, “Where is everybody?” He was talking about aliens. So why haven’t we met them yet? (Strange, Scientific Excuses for Why Humans Haven’t Found Aliens Yet) *** If you buy a used camper, knowing someone died in it, and with the bloodstain still clearly visible, you shouldn’t really be surprised later to find that it is haunted. (The Haunted Camper) *** George Barrington was a well-known author… and a well-known pocket picker. Oh yes, and he also says he saw a ghost ship. (Encounter With a Phantom Ship) *** A doppelganger is a strange creature that looks exactly like a real person, but is not that person’s twin. And seeing your doppelganger is considered a very bad omen. (Doppelgangers and Spirit Doubles) *** Nazi camp guard Maria Mandl sent half a million women to their deaths – and loved every minute of it. (“The Beast” Maria Mandl) *** The dragon is one of the most well-known creatures in ancient mythology, and many cultures have this creature (or one of its related forms) in their folklore. One of the lesser known dragons is that of the zmaj, a dragon that can be found in Slavic folklore. (The Dragon Zmaj) ***Whenever we see a pirate ship on television, cinema or in comic books we also see an extremely ancient symbol - the skull and crossbones. This however, was not a symbol of death – at least not in the beginning. (Hidden History of the Skull and Crossbones)

As you know, I've been working to lose weight for a while, but I love bread, which is pretty much 100% carbs.

One slice of wheat bread is about 12 carbs.

That's 24 carbs if you're making a sandwich and that's just the bread

0:44.3

before you put anything into the sandwich. But I saw an ad online for Hero Bread

Not only did it feel and taste like actual bread, I've gone back to making

sandwiches like I did before my low-carb diet. I can have a grilled cheese without worry.

So I went back and found that Hero Bread also has hot dog buns, so I jumped on that.
