Ep 294: Angiosperms, Parrots, Good, and Evil

Rafe is fully enjoying the arrival of summer, in particular all the plants producing flowers and leaves and, soon, fruit.  What follows is a discussion of angiosperms (plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed in fruit) and their wondrously rich variety, which leads to a discussion of the 1981 film Time Bandits in which the Evil One mocks God for producing "43 species of parrots" when he could have been focusing on lasers and high tech.In the end, we learn that Goodness blossoms and expands to higher and higher amounts of diversity while Evil, the absence of Good, decays and devolves into nothingness, represented in the film as smoldering blackish grayish ashy rock.#angiosperms #bufnagle #parrots #greenplants #asters #orchids #grasses #leaves #fruit #agriculture #timebandits #goodandevil #God #supremebeing #evilone #satan #kevin #mostfabulousobjectintheworld #fortressofultimatedarkness #infinitudeofthevarietyofthegood #seanconnery*****As always, you can reach the Buf at [email protected]*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!
