Tonight, we bring you a pleasantly surprising show as we take a look at the weirdest and wildest news stories this week, including an update on the project to de-extinct the Dodo, a rock in Romania used as a doorstop turns out to be worth a million dollars, a new study says fruit flies drink alcohol to attract mates, and we take a look at a taxidermized chupacabra located in the Chupacabra Capital of the World: Cuero, Texas. 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.
