How Stuff Works


I often enjoy listening to podcasts while I work. Lately I've been enjoying the podcast "Stuff You Should Know" and "Stuff You Missed in History Class" both produced by the website How Stuff Works. It's a great way to learn something new everyday. I think if I keep listening to it I may one day be able to win a game of Trivial Pursuit. Here are a few of the recent topics:
How Redheads Work (according to the podcast redheads need more anaesthesia than non redheads)
What Are Urban Explorers
How Does Body Armor Work
How to Survive a Plane Crash - Your chances of surviving are better than you might think. I was pleasantly surprised.
How Midnight Regulations Work
How Contagious Yawning Works
and much much more

Ha! Had to go see the stuff about redheads, and it's good stuff! Apparently we aren't going instinct, and we need more drugs to knock out our pain! Good to know! :-D

So how does contagious yawning work? I've always wondered about that. Sounds like a great series!

Cool. I love that show on tv, "How stuff is made" or something like. I'll have to check out those podcasts.

Excellent, I am in desperate need of new podcasts.

But I'll still never EVER win Trivial Pursuit.
