164. Lottery and Cottingley Fairies
Episode description
Hayley teaches the history of a system near and dear to her heart: the lottery. You may only have a one in 14 million chance of picking the winning numbers, but you have a one in one chance of enjoying this episode- bu-dum-tss! Then, Kat and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle prove to everyone that fairies are real and men are stupid. Two country girls got more than they bargained for when they presented their parents with photographs of fairies.
