On Weirdest Thing, we take the lofty, noble pursuit of science, and we strive to make it utterly relatable, and extremely entertaining. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about dual-penised serpents, airborne Ford Pintos, chainsaws used for childbirth, or the frozen poopsicle debacle atop Mount Everest, you should definitely take a listen. And if you were even eating a delicious seafood dinner and found yourself wondering if blood-sucking vampire fish make for a tasty meal? Well, we've got you covered.
