Sometimes there are people out there we love to hate. Elon Musk is one of them. So-called developer of exploding rockets, speeding death traps, and online banking, Musk has really screwed the pooch with media relations. Which is astounding, considering he owns a huge chunk of social media now. So, what the hell is this guy's problem?

Have you ever looked at the wonders of the ancient world and thought "I wonder how this was made?" Well, we can answer that question for at least one of them, and that is the Colosseum. Ancient Rome was a wild, huge place, and we took a lot of things from it into the modern day. After you listen to this episode, you'll know one way or the other how you feel about what the Romans thought about and did with bodily fluids.

The heart, the symbol of love. It's everywhere from hats you can buy in New York City to the Valentine cards you're giving out this week. We use it as a verb to mean love, and everyone recognizes it's two rounded lobes and pointed bottom. But how did it come to look like that, and why do we use it the way we do? Is the shape based on anything, and is any one person credited with the design? We're going to talk about its history in ...

Valentine's day has a far longer history than one thinks, stretching back beyond the February 14th celebrations of chocolate and gift giving that our modern day is familiar with. It extends into the grim and right into the weird. How did we end up with all these naked babies everywhere, and how is it related to all the beheadings of the past?
