#100 - Thames the Breaks, Kid

Strange Realm

Tonight we bring you another wild and wooly look into the strangest and most interesting news we could find this week, including a quick glance at the price of gold, a report that says people have been dumping bodies in the river Thames in London for thousands of years, the development of an electric generator that hooks on to your tailpipe, a link found between the periodontitis bacteria and Alzheimer's disease, and we take a look at the meaning and significance of the rune Lugaz. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
