Instructions:

Combine both the vanilla vodka and the green creme de menthe in a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass that has been drizzled with chocolate syrup.

A Brief Synopsis: Remnants of a mysterious animal have come to light in a remote jungle, and a group of scientists intends to determine if the find is an anomaly or evidence of an undiscovered beast. To accomplish their goal, the scientists must brave the most perilous pieces of land South America has to offer. But the terrain is nothing compared to the danger posed by an otherworldly being that endangers their work and their lives.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

1954 – We learn about lots of events that took place in 1954.
Drinking Games – Is it possible that there is a new drinking game based upon the podcast?
Bible Verses – Any idea what the first verse of the Bible is? It’s OK, Greg has no idea either.
Rotenone – Yes…it’s a real poison, used as a pesticide, insecticide, and as a nonselective piscicide.
Ichthyologist – A marine biologist who studies various species of fish classified as bony, cartilaginous, or jawless. Their work includes the study of fish history, behavior, reproductive habits, environment, and growth patterns.
The Big Bang – We get a crash course in the formation of the Earth.
The Bends – Decompression Sickness and how to avoid it.
Lungfish – A fish that can actually live out of water. It has gills and lungs, much like Kevin Costner’s character in Waterworld.
Uranium Lead Dating – Karen schools us all on how this process works.
