You’ll want to hold on to this one. It’ll be worth a fortune in just a blink of an eye, in geologic time.
During the inaugural (i.e. #1) episode of Science… sort of:

• Google Earth captures the Loch Ness Monster, it may or may not be disguised as a boat. Head to Latitude: 57°12’51.25″N and Longitude: 4°34’14.49″W to decide for yourself!
• There used to be really big scary reptiles back in the day, Patrick tells us more!
• Trailer Trash Talk kicks off with the trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats, and we explain the mysterious workings of the Hollywood Stock Exchange.
• Hybridization is awesome, except for one terrible flaw, would you make the switch?
• Is Superman a plant? You decide!
• Disney buys Marvel and Ryan pontificates on the business side of Imagineering.
