In our second show for the week:
* Do hair-stealing weirdos face unfair victimisation in the prison system?
* Jana’s aerodynamic jogging attire.
* And the return of Amateur Cognitive Science. Will you be the first listener to point out an error in Zan’s description of an homunculus?
* PLUS orgasmic implants.

Wow! A whole segment devoted to a passing fancy. Magic!
It probably means not very much to the other listeners unless they’ve looked pictures of a humunculus, so I urge listeners to click on the link. The picture is of an exhibit in the Natural History Museum, London.
The reason I started looking at homunculi was the question on an earlier show “What would you be happier to amputate, an arm or a leg?” One glance at a homunculus is enough to see that losing an arm would be a bad choice compared to losing a leg.

The guest on the show will need a superhero name; she can’t use her real one. But what superhero will she choose?

ok I’m late with this but my iPod broke and I couldn’t listen to shows for a couple of weeks (I only listen during my commute to work).
On the topic of ’strange things to stick up your bum’ I heard from someone who used to work as a corrections officer that, in prison, the prisoners will treat a paedophile or child abuser in a ’special’ way - they’ll insert a piece of pvc pipe up the bum of the paedophile/abuser and thread a piece of home made barbed wire through the pipe…then they remove the pipe leaving the barbed wire behind in the…behind.
Anyway I’ve always wondered if this were true. Maybe other BYU listeners can confirm if this is urban myth or not
Great show Zan and Jana
