===An Actual Key to the City===
Andrew was browsing eBay when he found something very interesting for a buy-it-now price of just $149.95. The item was a [http://www.fireengineering.com/articles/2012/10/firemans-key-ring-sold-on-ebay-worries-fdny.html "Fireman's Keyring"] that has a series of keys that will let you into almost all of the skyscrapers in New York City and control all of their elevators. Since it already sold, apparently it's legal for anybody to own this, however if they ever use it they will surely be immediately thrown in jail.

===Bonnie is Turning into Brian===
Some researchers did some research on a bunch of "female autopsy candidates" and they found that 63% of them had Y chromosomes in their brain. Of course this is strange, because women by definition have only X chromosomes. However all of the women were pregnant and the DNA of their mate and/or baby boy stayed in her body and set up shop in their brain PERMANENTLY.

===Using Your Brains===
Inspired by the previous topic Brian brought up the topic of using different parts of your brain at the same time.

===This Week in Space===
The Curiosity rover recently discovered evidence that there was once flowing water on Mars. Brian also read an article that presented evidence that Titan, a moon of Saturn, experiences seasons.

===Next Week in Space===
Just six days after the recording of this episode SpaceX was set to launch their first official resupply mission to the International Space Station. Andrew had plans to go up to Cape Canaveral to watch the launch, however he applied and got accepted into the NASA Social program. This meant that he was actually given press credentials and got to watch the launch up close where the general public isn't allowed. To make the situation even more awesome, he live streamed the launch and it was broadcasted on the [[TWiT Network]] with commentary from Brian, Justin and [[Tom Merritt]].
