Episode 190 - A Quick and Dirty Thirty

A short podcast this week with just the hosts talking about the contests and their favorite cartoons from the current week's issue of the New Yorker.

There is a question that was left unanswered about why zebras have stripes. We did a quick google search and found, "While scientists still debate the exact origins and functions of zebra stripes, their recent efforts have focused more closely on three possibilities; protection from biting flies, thermoregulation and protection from predators."
