Episode 3: Going to the Dark Side
Tales of animals using sinister techniques to hunt down prey, alien human ancestors with multiple words for murder, boys being sent to bed without their supper, and matter (the dark kind).
- Komodo dragons are venomous. They just may not need it. We plan our field trip to see if Ryan bleeds to death or dies of neurotoxin. Learn all about reptile venom here, if you have the $$$. Also, here is sweet picture of a Komodo dragon taken my brother when he was on the island, you can see some of his other pictures here.
- Ryan and Justin try to leave me out of Ocean by Warren Ellis, but fail miserably.
- We review trailer 1 for Where the Wild Things Are and come away with slightly mixed feelings, given that the original book (comic?) is only 10 sentences long.
- A discussion of the 5th force and dark matter leaves us wondering if gravity is real or not.
- We close the show ever more nervous that a Velociraptor could ambush us from above.
- Bump music this week is Neighborhood #2 (Laika) by The Arcade Fire.
This choice was inspired by our brief discussion of dying in space and the Russian test dog Laika, as well as The Arcade Fire song Wake Up used in the Where the Wild Things Are trailer.
