10/16/13 Episode 4: Aliases, Time Machines, and Orcae

Nina can't stop laughing long enough to introduce the podcast--possibly because of the multiple Greek alphabet jokes made prior to recording.  Luckily, producer Michael is there to jump in, but immediately finds himself under interrogation by Reno and Nina.  Aliases quickly result all around, and the remaining episode is run by Johnny, Kathy, and Gerald/Gerry.  These aliases protect us as we discuss the government shutdown, admit to illegally burning movies, and worst of all, make plans to 3D print our own guns. Oh, and Reno talks like a dolphin. http://www.ted.com/talks/edith_widder_how_we_found_the_giant_squid.html?sa=X&ei=dPtOUsjLB8SSigLn1oFw&ved=0CBYQqwQ http://www.npr.org/2013/10/07/230170093/even-antarctica-feels-the-effects-of-the-government-shutdown http://www.kurzweilai.net/why-dont-we-have-fusion-yet http://www.kurzweilai.net/4d-printing-adaptive-materials http://www.kurzweilai.net/neural-circuits-that-control-rem-sleep-in-mice-identified http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-october-1-2013/david-mitchell  http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/10/04/229190837/want-to-read-others-thoughts-try-reading-literary-fiction http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2013/popular-physicsprize2013.pdf
