Episode notes
When was the first pregnancy test? If we know the biggest and smallest sizes in the universe, what is the middlest size? What’s the deal with fanfiction?
We also learn about: Comedy!, piss prophets, we should know better that science is weird, “Looks like the frog’s ovulating!”, we are in the middle of history, what even is an object, the centi-sand, don’t fudge significant figures, Dante’s Self Insert RPF, we get carried away playing the fanfiction pairing game.
