891: Barkley’s Marathon, Monkey Business, & Left-handedness

Show Notes

Susie’s mad at people for how they talk about a common ailment, so we’re debating the origins of this odd phrase. We learn about the hardest ultramarathon in the world, the crazy rules around it, and how a woman finally completed it after a 37 year run of only male finishers. A monkey turned off the power in all of Sri Lanka, and it made us realize how tenuous everything really is. We’re debating shoes on or off in the house again, and Susie is not budging. We learn why handedness is so mysterious and consider the oddity and rarity of being left-handed in a world of righties.
