Science Faction

Warning: Particularly Offensive Episode

In this episode, the gang discusses how Genghis Khan and 10 other historical men are the direct ancestors of 40% of all people in Asia, a new type of chemical bond, how to more effectively teach young children using naps, why psychopaths don't respond to punishment and what the term 'vaginal spelunking' means.

In this episode the gang discusses a new kind of nuclear reactor that doesn't produce nuclear waste and cannot melt down and a new procedure that may extend human life and cure muscular dystrophy. All of that plus inheriting allergies through organ donation, a crazy extraterrestrial radio signal detected from deep space and how sleeping around might be good for your immunity.

Super Xenon:

In this episode, the gang discusses studies that suggests super mosquitos are sweeping through Africa, a new super antibiotic may make MRSA a thing of the past, and super flies may hold the secret to long life. All of that plus a study that suggests that most grown adults can be convinced they committed a violent crime that never occurred...after less than three hours of friendly interviews.

In this episode, the gang chats about how a bowhead whale might help you live to the age of 200, how Ribosomes may be driving evolution, whether being cold can give you a cold, and whether cancer deaths are increasing or decreasing. All of that, plus the phenomenon that is killing more than 2,000 white men a year on this year’s first episode of Science Faction.
