Credit must go to Pete Evans for his research on the ouija board story, by the way.

A note on the “yeti” plural thing (and also on a previous episode with “muesli”)…
An “-i” plural in Latin would usually indicate a 2nd-declension masculine noun, which is “-us” in singular. For the singular to be “yetum” or “mueslum” (typically a 2nd-declension neuter noun), the plurals would need to be “yeta” and “muesla”.
So, uh, yeah: Yetus and mueslus.

Nice Babylon5 reference by Colin, makes a change from the usual Doctor Who references.
Comes the InKuisitor perhaps.

Hi from the U.S. This was my first episode and I subscribed. So, you guys need to up your podcast game – people are listening.
Here’s some links to supplement your comments.
They can find a rare albino hummingbird AND photograph it, but can’t find a Sasquatch? http://doubtfulnews.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/rare-albino-ruby-throated-hummingbird-photographed-in-virginia/
And here is a story about another Bigfoot FAQ page. http://idoubtit.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/bigfoot-facts-for-kids/ this one was marketed to kids. They never did post my comment as noted in this piece. Wonder why?
