    Operation: Operations!

    Has there ever been a good Operation? Based on the various Operations and Projects we look at in this episode, any time you see something gets called an Operation, it's a work of pure malice that produces nothing but hardship and heartache. Even Operation Dumbo Drop. ESPECIALLY Operation Dumbo Drop.

    Sherminator 2: Judgement Day

    Sherminator 2: Judgement Day

    In the sequel to last week's episode, we look at Part II of Michael Shermer's book "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational". This part is all about determining which conspiracies are real - judging them, if you will. So the title works - it's not just a gratuitous pop culture reference! Not that there's anything wrong with a gratuitous pop culture reference.

    To Catch a Spy!

    We're back and in the same physical location for ONE WEEK ONLY, so the only sensible thing to do is talk about a spy book from the 1980s. What was "Spycatcher"? What secrets did it contain? How did it manage to leave Margaret Thatcher "shattered"? Was that a typo and she meant "sharted"? Sorry, we didn't get enough juvenile humour into the episode and it has to go somewhere.
