    254: Futurepedia

    If you think the future is already interesting, just wait until you've hear the future of the future! Alipedia, the 23rd century encyclopedia that knows everything about everything, has a special feature that allows it to highlight things that haven't happened yet. We try to figure out when such knowledge might come in handy, highlight a few predictions that we found, and don't hesitate to use exciting words like "dingy" and "rockets". Also, there's a quiz!

    253: Lost and Found

    In case you were feeling a little lost, we just found the right episode for you! We visited London's Millennium Dome today, where the world's Lost and Found is based, and we can't wait to tell you all about it. A few spoilers; it's big, smells peculiar, and has (or shall we say had) a box full of pomegranates. Also, what happened to Simon's cup of tea?

    250: Unicorns

    Why do scientists make unicorns? Because they can! Why do we talk about that in our podcast? Same reason! In this episode we don't just talk about our present-day unicorns, but we also touch upon the more controversial part of this whole bringing-back-unicorns business; the question of whether or not they ever existed in the first place. Oh, and we talk about darts. To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number 250 in the subject line.

    249: Vascular Technology

    Imagine there was a technology that let you control plant-based material. Imagine you could make furniture that walked or scarves that wrapped themselves around your neck.
