#101 - Krangs for the Memories
Manage episode 469719588 series 3545700
Tonight we bring you a monstrous and prodigious episode as we take a look at the weirdest and wildest once again, including a new science probe that has landed on the Moon, a 14-year old who has broken 6 math world records in one day, a study involving psychic abilities shows they can be enhanced through very specific brain stimulation, and we look at a very frightening and weird "brainiac" fish caught in the deep ocean. 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.
