The Geekbox: Episode 168

Hey, we’re back, for real this time! It’s been a long couple of weeks, but we’ve got some Avengers and Diablo III to catch up on (and I’ve got a big, glowing Diablo III “Play” button sitting one window away right now…). Apologies once again for the sporadic and unintended absence; I’ll do everything I can to make sure it doesn’t happen again anytime soon!

The Geekbox Plague

Discuss this sorry excuse for a missed episode on our forums!

In a development that I promise I am freaking out about way more than you are, we’re skipping a record second episode of the Geekbox in a three-week period, after an unblemished, unbroken 160-episode streak that stretches back to February 2009. The truth is, we’re all violently ill this week — well, except for Karen, who’s wisely decided to overwork herself and avoid us, lest she also contract the black plague — and in absolutely no shape to podcast, let alone have any protracted conversations with other human beings. If it makes you feel any better, I just threw up today! And I can’t remember the last time I did that (well, I can now, but you get the point)! See you next week, if I’m not dead.

Good Job, Brain! — Episode 10: Animals Are Weird (2012-05-07)
Chris said it best: Nothing that man can think up in science-fiction stories is crazier, creepier, and more disgusting than nature. Mother Nature is a very odd gal. We share our research on weird animals and behavior, and shocking animal ingredients in our everyday lives. Freelance bees, whale regurgitation, zombie ants, and the famous dog who ate everything. ALSO: Pop quiz!, famous paradoxes, how to memorize very specific parts of the male anatomy in a very particular order, and NEW LISTENER CHALLENGE! Starring Karen Chu, Colin Felton, Dana Nelson, and Chris Kohler.
