Ep 47: A Puhunchy Carnivorous Crustacean And An Alien Text

Oct 24

There’s something seriously wrong with Hids’ dice… FIRST AGAIN! They rolled with it and took us down for a tropical dip in the oceans to meet the Mantis Shrimp! Neat Thing: it’s not even a shrimp! These awesome creatures not only pack a powerful punch, but they can also see in 16 different colors AND the ultraviolet spectrum. Humans can only see in 3 colors, how dull is that?

Jess took us back in time to learn about the incredible Voynich Manuscript, a document that has puzzled historians, antique book collectors and code breakers for hundreds of years. Who do you think created this 15th century book?
