In this week’s episode, Neil tells us all about the woman who got exactly half of the USA’s penicillin supply!

Dave tells us about how camels’ humps produce more water than if they held water. Which they don’t. Which makes no sense. Well, that’s this podcast for you!

Add into the mix, a man who sued his surgeons and won and the incredible life of General Garibaldi including the biscuits!

Dave in concentrating on borders this week. He talks us through the island that is French then Spanish then French and so on.

Then he goes one fruther and explains bits of countries that are in other countries that are in other countries.

In the perennial game of oneupmanship that is this pod, Neil then brings out the big guns: giraffes, wind turbines and Napoleon.

If you want to know just why the French military genius' most mortal enemy was a horde of rabbits, dig in.

Following on from last week's discussion about how long a rooster could last without a head, we delve deep into the world of fowl again. Dave explains just how to coax a chicken, and even a shark into a trance-like state.

Neil then attempts to elevate the level of discourse by dropping ancient Greece and American Civil Rights attorneys into the chat.

His attempt, as usual, fails. But at least they do answer the perennial question, how many horsepower is a horse?
