  • How Shrunken Heads Were Made

    How Shrunken Heads Were Made
    May 18 2026
    ⁠In this episode of The Brain Food Show, we begin by discussing a random quick fact involving the parents of Ferris Bueller on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Next we move into the main content for today’s episode which is discussing how exactly people used to get human heads to shrink and why they did this in the first place. Moving on from that, we look at the fascinating saga of famed philosopher Jeremy Bentham’s head and body. Finally we move into some feedback and then an interesting Star Trek Fact related to skeletons. And for those interested: ⁠Picture of Jeremy Bentham’s Head⁠ Our mentioned video on the history of passwords: ⁠Who Invented Passwords and the Guy That Made Them Suck⁠ A sampling of Marina Sirtis talking at various conventions: ⁠The Riker Maneuver⁠ ⁠Riker and Picard Badass Walk Loop⁠ On another note, if you could do us a huge favor and rate and review this show in whatever podcasting platform you’re using (including hopefully giving us some feedback related to the new format), we would be extremely grateful.

    In the video today we're looking at what happens in the real world when you find a buried treasure. What happens when someone objects during a wedding and why ministers ask. What happens if you commit a crime aboard an aircraft or in International waters. What happens when you give a homeless person $100,000. What happens if a cemetery goes under. What exactly happens to animals swallowed alive. What happens if you accidentally damage or destroy a priceless work of art in a museum. What happens when a town votes for a dog or a cat to be mayor. What really happens when someone enters the witness protection program. And, finally, what happens when you stick your head into a particle accelerator. 0:00 What Happens in the Real World if You Find a Buried Treasure? 11:09 What Happens When Someone DOES Object During a Wedding and Where Did This Practice Come From? 16:37 What Happens if You Commit a Crime Aboard an Aircraft or in International Waters? 32:25 What Happened When You Give a Homeless Person $100,000 43:08 What Happens If a Cemetery Goes Under? 48:39 What Exactly Happens to Animals Swallowed Alive and Do Any Animals Ever Get Out Alive After? 1:00:25 What Happens if You Accidentally Damage or Destroy a Priceless Work of Art in a Museum? 1:09:49 What Happens When a Town Votes For a Dog or Cat to Be Mayor? 1:15:25 What Really Happens When Someone Enters the Witness Protection Program 1:19:59 What Happens When You Stick Your Head Into a Particle Accelerator Learn more about your ad choices.
