TheESP – Ep. #444 – Happy Cucumbers
Episode description
With an episode number like this, we have to start out with some numerology. Annika will be more off than on for a while and the promised record heat in Sweden actually delivered. In TWISH we hear about the sci-fi / philosophical writer Stanisław Lem who was born this week in 1921. Then we head for the news:
- SWEDEN: Music makes cucumbers happy
- UK: Hereditary seats to be removed from Lords
- INTERNATIONAL: No link between mobile phones and brain tumours
- UK / INTERNATIONAL: Bach Flower Remedies for perceived stress of nurses
We hand out a Really Wrong Award to the Carl and Veronica Carstens Foundation for funding dubious research, and that should be the end – but wait! Brian Eggo crashes the party! He tells all about the upcoming Skepticamp at QED. Don’t miss out!
Enjoy!
