Recently, a young English speaking boy mysteriously walked out of a German forest. Apparently, his father had died and he had just buried him. But since this happened in Germany, the conversation devolved into a discussion of Hitler and Bavarian chocolate.

[[Jon Tilton]] said on Twitter that he was sad that he will never be able to live along side dinosaurs. This of course sparked a conversation on reversing evolution and bringing back the dinosaurs. Since, the guys don't quite have the ability to reverse evolution right now, they decided to get a huge piece of land and pick the most badass living animals to put in there. Justin picked wild African dogs, Brian picked great white sharks and Andrew picked Komodo Dragons to put in their park along with cassowaries, a type of killer Australian birds. To add to their "badass" line-up, Brian adds some of the most deadly animals on the face of the Earth, 38 mosquitoes. Understandably disappointed, Justin brings in a truck full of [[Rape Ape]]s. Then, in an effort to attract more visitors, they decided that they will have the animals fight each other in an arena for our enjoyment. | |||

Hitler and The Chocolate Factory
Recently, a young English speaking boy mysteriously walked out of a German forest. Apparently, his father had died and he had just buried him. But since this happened in Germany, the conversation devolved into a discussion of Hitler and Bavarian chocolate. Justin mentioned that Bavaria is known for their amazing chocolate, but both Brian and Andrew thought that he was just making things up again.
Badassic Park
Jon Tilton said on Twitter that he was sad that he will never be able to live along side dinosaurs. This of course sparked a conversation on reversing evolution and bringing back the dinosaurs. Since, the guys don't quite have the ability to reverse evolution right now, they decided to get a huge piece of land and pick the most badass living animals to put in there. Justin picked wild African dogs, Brian picked great white sharks and Andrew picked Komodo Dragons to put in their park along with cassowaries, a type of killer Australian birds. To add to their "badass" line-up, Brian adds some of the most deadly animals on the face of the Earth, 38 mosquitoes. Understandably disappointed, Justin brings in a truck full of Rape Apes. Then, in an effort to attract more visitors, they decided that they will have the animals fight each other in an arena for our enjoyment.

Chances of NASA Murdering You: 1 in 3000
At the time of the podcast, the UARS satellite was close to falling back to Earth and NASA said that there was a 1 in 3000 chance of it hitting a human. Interestingly enough, that is the same odds of the Weird Things podcast making it through an entire episode without a Hitler reference.
