In this classic episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Rob and Joe explore the meaning of these inaccuracies as well as the actual biological wonder of North American and Eurasian beavers.

Customer Reviews
Meteor iron
Good subject. Next I suggest you do an episode on American Indian use of meteoric iron. The Hopewell culture, the pueblos, and the Inuit.
Thank you.
Fascinating Topics
I love all the episodes! As a nerd and anthropologist I love the range of topics covered. Sometimes is sci-fi physics, animals, movies, and more. Even the listener mail episodes are interesting. Great work guys!
