Susie watched the Biggest Loser docuseries, and it just confirms everything we’ve been saying about reality tv for decades, but it leaves the question of whether we should expect more from our “entertainment.” We find out whether twins have “telepathy” or any kind of special biological ability that allows them to understand each other better, read each other’s thoughts, and feel physical pain the other is experiencing. There’s a new record for the longest lightning bolt, and we’re glad we weren’t there for it. We get an update on our old pal James Howells who accidentally threw away his hard drive (and the key to his crypto) that is now worth about a billion dollars, and his efforts to retrieve it from the garbage dump.
