In this show:
* Zan gets angry with the listeners for snubbing Uncle Bob.
* A shout-out to our (non-binding) podcasting friends.
* Japanese reminiscences.
* Updates on Wichita linesmen and Nigerian email scammers.
* Zan does a humiliating backflip on the subject of Podcast Alley.
And we explain the mysteries of the mind in what promises to be our most short-lived segment ever: Amateur Cognitive Science.

Cognitive Science? Ahh I just can’t get away from studying. Now one of my favourite podcasts is educational too woo hoo! People will think I am just listening to my ipod but secretly I am being educated, thus getting better grades…Well it made sense in my head.
Love you guys…you are really getting great!

You have taken the podcast to the next level!
“Phantoms in the Brain” was one of my favorite reads ever! On to Sacks, anyone?

Ramachandran’s work is the reason I chose to persue a career in clinical neurology. I’m just thrilled that you all mentioned him! Hopefully you have inspired others to find out about this incredible field.
If you found his work interesting, be sure to check out this article:
“Sensory Saltation: Metastability in the Perceptual World”, by Geldard. It’s an obscure work, but it’s the basis of my current research and a fascinating read.
Cheers!

Who would have thought Amateur Cognitive Science would get such a reception. Maybe we should switch to an all-cognitive science format.

This comment is in response to Janas’ pictures in the image gallery……headless bodies scare me, as do faces without mouths.

Love the Podcast. I, like most people found you through PK & J. You may have mentioned it before, but what does “Bob’s your uncle” mean? I have a ‘What woud bob do’ question. Say you’re into some heavy gangsters for 50 large, and you only had $100 dollars to your name, and the bad guys were going to break your legs in 5 days, how would you get the money? Strictly hypothetical, but I need an answer quick if you get my drift. Thanks mates.
