Actually Happening

Hanukkah/Chanukah, ketchup/catsup, let’s call the whole thing off!

This week, we do our obligatory annual visit to 17th century Boston, and wonder why Assassins Creed 3 gave a fake Spaniard an Irish name.

They waited. It never happened. It still hasn’t happened.

We guessed the election’s outcome for this one. Fingers crossed we’re right! This Week: — Things for Romney to do other than run for president — Does this smell like chloroform to you? — Alas, poor Tubby — Stealing the...

It involves a Canadian man named Jocelyn.

More cursory history than anyone else has ever cursed! This week: — October surprises — The Sheik makes the ladies swoon — This opera isn’t fancy enough! — Daleks vs. the state of Missouri — What do we have in...

This week, we continue our in-no-way-topical discussion of political trivia by inventing the not-yet-existent trivia team of John Tyler Perry.

This week we track a simple president pro tempore…. or was he? And we smash a glass to remind you of the temple.

This week we talk about one of America’s greatest (or at least most entertaining) unelected leaders: Emperor Norton. And hosting issues are now fixed so we should be back on schedule!

This week we have a late one, and a long one. But it’s also awesome, complete with protest rifles, filibusters, and shipwrecks.

This week we discuss a second fake creature that Arthur Conan Doyle got mixed up in. What a weird dude.

Sorry we’re so late on this one. At least it’s finally done! Weird combination of topics this time — everything from a lobster surplus to Nelson Mandela.

In which we debate the tricky subject of when a forgery becomes art in itself… and we hear way too much about a particular piece of graph paper.

We’re back from our summer vacation! Image credits: Wikimedia Commons and Flickr.
