    X - Military

    Brace for impact! The Imaginauts return with a bit of a situation on their hands, as the ship is under attack my a disgruntled former crew member and they must divulge all the strange and wonderful things they've discovered on the topic of Military. Time is short and no one knows where the torpedoes are or how to activate the shields. With quick thinking, some good humour and cheap sound effects maybe the Imaginauts can live to laugh another day... In this episode: James - What's the stupidest military idea ever conceived? Phil - What's the nicest thing about war? Sean - How can our animal friends help us fight our battles? Got anything you want to say to us?

    Do you really know what you think you know?

How does Hollywood get mental illness so wrong and so right at the same time? Is Professional Wrestling all real? Is it all fake? What's the silliest wrestler gimmick: Yankem, the evil dentist or I.R.S., the Tax Collector? All these questions answered and more on the Imaginauts! Got anything you want to say to us?
