Welcome to Interesting If True, the podcast that will eventually be recorded in the annals of history, sorry I said that wrong, the anals of history. I'm your host this week, Shea, and with me are: I'm Aaron, and this week I learned cleaning the floor is routine, but cleaning the ceiling means that something disastrous has happened… Like bottle-bombs or a defective O-ring on your keg… I’m Steve and I’ve not been sleeping well lately on top of that it’s been really busy at work, so I’m having a hard time forming a complete sentence without stumbling over my dick. So, please bear with me. This Week’s Drinks Steve: I’m drinking the Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA this week. Brewed in lovely Ft. Collins, CO at 7.5% abv. This is a spiced IPA, which honestly isn’t my favorite, but it’s a nice change of pace. 7 of 10 I am finishing a bottle of Cabernet that I opened to make… Au Jus, maybe, or a schezwan sauce, who remembers. Shea: I'm drinking a smorgasbord of beer from the back of the fridge, right now it’s another Alaskan midnight haze IPA. Round Table From Patreon with Love commented on your post. The measurement of one billion trillion would be represented in factors, not with zero's. it would be 10 to the power of 12 to the power of 9. Kevin Rowlands commented on your post. Love the predictions but the best Nostradamus show was The First Wave filmed in Vancouver from 1998 to 2001 Headlines… Pensions At Bernie’s So far, our headlines have been largely science-based. But what is science really if not testing a theory? Theories like listener Louise’s “can Irish Post Offices tell the difference between some dude, and some dude’s corpse?” The answer is, it seems, yes. Last week, as of recording anyway, an Irish man stopped by the County Carlow post office to collect a pension. Not his pension mind you. The office staff of course refused him, stating that only the pension holder could collect it. So our enterprising hero returned later that day with a friend… and the pension holder. Problem is, he’s dead. The man and his friend fully Weekend At Burney’s’ed him. According to witnesses, they entered the Post Office with the man “propped up” between them, an arm over each shoulder, feet dragging lifelessly behind them. From a woman who didn’t want to be named, “she was leaving my house at the time and said the man looked unwell as his feet were dragging [along] the ground,” which was because he was a corpse. The mayor of Carlow, Fianna Fáil councilor Ken Murnane said “I was absolutely shocked to hear about what happened. I cannot believe anyone would do something like that. It beggars belief, I’m just shocked.” For their part, they got arrested and the local constabulary, called Gardaí, was investigating the nature of the man's death. Local Fine Gael councilor Fergal Byrne said: “The staff in the shop are very shook up from it. I’d like to offer my sympathies to the man’s family also. It’s a bizarre and upsetting situation.” * https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/22/two-men-take-corpse-into-irish-post-office-to-claim-dead-mans-pension Five Letter Words
