Vicious Circle 76 – Thanksgiving Horror Stories

The live streaming worked great and it’s free so I think we’ll keep doing that. Unfortunately I forget to set the recording type to loss less and it’s over three hours so I can’t edit it in Garageband to add the music. I don’t feel like taking the time to work around it so here it is sans music.
The episode links are all here. (May be NSFW)
It’s Vicious Circle #76.
Also available in the iTunes store (For Free! What a bargain!)

[...] Still in my PJs, doing laundry and listening to Podcasts. Eric Shelton never disappoints, and I missed Friday’s Vicious Circle. [...]
As much as I hate to argue with AEPilotJim, who is certainly smarter (and probably older) than I am, there were some pretty sound reasons for NASA to go with space pens: pencil points break. Do you want tiny little pieces of graphite drifting around in zero-G and possibly shorting out your electronics? Do you want to deal with capturing graphite dust and wood shavings from a pencil sharpener in zero-G?
Snopes has a pretty good writeup on this:
