Oh, hello, Curios.
I'm Han Fry.
And I'm Dar O'Brien.
And we're back.
Here we are in your feed, in your ears, back with a third series of Curious Cases.
Yes, once again, we'll be waiting to hear your weird and obviously wonderful questions on a quest to bring you scientifically accurate answers.
Well, okay, The quest is for answers.
I don't want to do false advertising here, so we don't want to guarantee answers.
But we will throw up a load of science stuff anyway.
So you know, yeah, there's value for money in that.
Some of it surely will stick.
Yeah.
Some of it may be relevant to the original question, but we go, we do drift off.
We do drift off.
I think that's what they come for.
You know, come for the drifting, stay for the question.
At any given episode, there's only one person who genuinely needs that question answered.
And then there's everyone else.
And we favor everyone else.
We're serving the masses.
That's what we're we're doing right now.
What have we got in this?
We are serving the masses with some crabs.
That's one thing that we're doing.
We've got a,
we want to know what's up with all these viral crustacean memes.
We want to talk about whether everything is converging evolutionary wise into
crabs.
Everything is turning into crabs.
Yeah.
Resonance.
Yeah.
The exciting thing of wobbly bridges and does everything have a frequency and what do vibrations do to humans?
I'll be honest with you, that episode has changed how I walk with tea, possibly forever, or at the very least until I forget about it.
That is honestly that you've you've stumbled across the best teas.
It will change your life.
I mean, in a very minor way.
Yeah.
Look, can you be born lucky or unlucky?
We meet the unluckiest person.
Yes.
We also do spontaneous combustion.
Yeah, we don't do spontaneous combustion, but we do realize that everything can do.
Excuse me.
Deal with spontaneous combustion.
Within mere centimeters of me.
Yeah, but we don't spontaneously combustion.
No, no.
Not spontaneous human combustion.
No, no, no.
Although we do talk about the potential for humans to be like candles.
Yes, which is exciting.
