In this mind-bending episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro dives into Robert Temple's electrifying theory that the universe might actually be alive—and trying to talk to us. Could plasma—the same substance that fills stars, powers lightning, and glows in neon lights—be a living intelligence? Temple suggests that the mysterious orbs, pillars of fire, and UFO-like lights seen throughout history might all be manifestations of the same cosmic consciousness reaching out across the galaxy. Kat and Jethro explore the parallels between deep-space structures and the human brain, the eerie beauty of ball lightning, and how ancient prophets may have witnessed plasma phenomena long before science had a name for it. Then, Kat switches gears to set fire to your curiosity—literally—by investigating the latest in fire science. From sound-wave extinguishers to DARPA's plasma-bending experiments, she reveals how modern tech is rethinking the way we fight flames. Plus, we discover what happens when your upstairs neighbor doubles as a weight-lifting thunder god, why Kat owns a crystal vase for questionable reasons, and how chickens got arms for Christmas. This Box contains the following ingredients: Robert Temple, plasma intelligence, ball lightning, crop circles, afterlife physics, intelligent universe, sound-wave fire extinguisher, DARPA fire suppression, Box of Oddities podcast, Kat and Jethro, paranormal science, weird science, cosmic consciousness.

You know me. I love to give credit where credit is due. While reading the book, Who's in the Game? by Terri Tolles Patkin, I came across an interesting variant to Operation; Operation: Brain Surgery. I immediately had to look into this. Operation debuted in 1968. It hasn't really changed in the past 30+ years, other than the “funatomy” parts. No new gameplay was offered until 2002 with the debut of Brain Surgery. Since then, it has had a few other variants on the brand: Pet Scan, Botched Operation, & most recently Junior.Anyway, I went on Board Game Geek and looked into this weird sounding Operation Brain Surgery, and you should, too. It is Cavity Sam's head, just his head. You are a brain surgeon trying to find head themed funatomy parts like Train of Thought, Bright Idea, Cat's Got Your Tongue, etc. And to find them, well, you put your hand into his head. Dig around using only feel in search of the correct new funatomy parts. I am sure this is 100% medically accurate.So, gather your fellow medical buffs, and let's dig into Sam's head in Operation Brain Surgery.Directing people to the get the games tab

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 9th Publish Date: August 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 9th and Happy Heavenly Birthday to Whitney Houston I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 1. Middle school teachers can apply for Jackson EMC's Bright Ideas grants 2. Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart 3. New exhibits, learning spaces part of $27 million makeover at Fernbank Museum All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Middle school teachers can apply for Jackson EMC's Bright Ideas grants Jackson EMC is now taking applications for its Bright Ideas grant program, offering up to $2,000 to help middle school teachers bring their most creative classroom projects to life. Got an idea for hands-on science experiments? A wild literacy adventure? Maybe a tech-art mashup? If you’re a state-certified teacher for grades 6–8 in Jackson EMC’s service area, this is your chance to make it happen. Applications are due by Sept. 8 at jacksonemc.com/brightideas. Since 2015, over $621,000 has funded projects that spark curiosity and creativity. STORY 2: Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart Chaos unfolded Wednesday morning at Fort Stewart, just southwest of Savannah, when five soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. The alleged shooter, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, was apprehended by 11:35 a.m., thanks to nearby soldiers who tackled him before law enforcement arrived. Radford, assigned to the combat team, used a personal handgun—not military-issued. How he got it on base? Still under investigation. The five injured soldiers were treated on-site, then taken to Winn Army Community Hospital. Two were later transferred to Savannah’s Memorial Health, the region’s only Level 1 trauma center. All are stable and expected to recover. Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia’s senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, offered prayers and support for the victims and their families. The base went into lockdown within minutes, though it was lifted an hour later, except for the combat team complex. Investigators are still piecing together a motive. STORY 3: New exhibits, learning spaces part of $27 million makeover at Fernbank Museum Fernbank Museum in Atlanta is gearing up for some big changes—$27 million worth, to be exact. Announced Tuesday, the museum’s ambitious capital campaign promises to “revolutionize” how visitors experience science, nature, and history. What’s coming? A massive new permanent exhibit, Changing Earth, will explore our planet’s dynamic systems. It’ll be Fernbank’s largest exhibit ever. There’s also a new temporary gallery for rotating exhibits, an interactive Orkin Discovery Zone for hands-on science fun, and an expanded Star Gallery with fresh content about the cosmos. Thanks to major donors like the Rollins and Woodruff Foundations, these projects will roll out over the next few years, with Changing Earth set to debut in 2027. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles 4 STORY 4: Souto Foods opens expanded facility in Gwinnett Souto Foods just cut the ribbon on its newly expanded facility in Gwinnett, marking a big step forward for the local food distributor. Located at 5030 Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville, the expansion represents a $28 million investment and promises 70 new jobs. “This is about growth, people, and the future,” said Kimberly George, Senior VP at Alex Lee, during the Aug. 1 ceremony. The facility, part of the Sugarloaf Logistics Hub, is transforming the former Cisco campus into a bustling center for food distribution. Founded in 2010, Souto Foods specializes in Latin American and Caribbean products, cementing its role in Gwinnett’s international business scene. STORY 5: Falcons' Jalon Walker Returns After Minor Setback Falcons rookie Jalon Walker is back in action at Flowery Branch, shaking off a hamstring hiccup that sidelined him for a few days. The 21-year-old, a former Georgia standout and the 15th overall pick, is already turning heads again. Known for his versatility at Georgia, Walker’s starting as an edge rusher in Atlanta. “We’re focusing on his strengths first,” said head coach Raheem Morris. “Once he’s comfortable, we’ll expand his role.” Walker and fellow first-rounder James Pearce Jr. are building chemistry, hoping to anchor a defense that’s long overdue for a resurgence. Break 3: STORY 6: Author Jacinta Howard to discuss 'When Forty Blooms' at Snellville library Jacinta Howard, Atlanta-based author and culture journalist, will chat about her latest book, When Forty Blooms, on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Snellville branch of the Gwinnett County Library. She’ll be joined by moderator Brianna A. Peppins. Howard’s no stranger to storytelling—her work’s been everywhere: Eater, Atlanta Magazine, Shondaland, and even LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells. Oh, and that piece she wrote about Magic City’s chicken wings? It snagged her a 2022 ASME nomination. She’s penned multiple series, including The Prototype and Love Always. Peppins, a Spelman grad, is the author of Briarcliff Prep. STORY 7: Gwinnett transportation officials want to bring microtransit to Duluth area On-demand microtransit might soon hit parts of Duluth, Gwinnett Place, and Sugarloaf by late 2026—if the funding comes through. Gwinnett County’s transportation team pitched a $400,000 budget request to a citizens review committee last week, aiming to launch a 15-square-mile “Central Business District” zone. Think of it as a crescent-shaped hub connecting downtown Duluth, Sugarloaf Mills, Gwinnett Place Mall, and more. The service? Simple. Book a ride via app for $3, and get to work, school, the doctor, or even the park.

We start this week with a journey back in time, exploring some of the oldest and most resilient plants on the planet: ferns. Gardener, botanist and author Ben Dark has been uncovering some surprising stories about these living fossils as part of his sweeping journey – 2.5 billion years deep – into the fascinating history of plants. Ferns thrive in damp, shady garden corners — but they're not the only ones. Horticulturist Alessandra Sana faced this exact challenge when she took on the north-facing wall of RHS Wisley's walled garden. She shares her go-to plants and creative inspiration for transforming those tricky, low-light spots into lush, green sanctuaries. And finally, we cross the Atlantic to hear from John Sonnier, Head Gardener at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. His pioneering sustainable gardening practices have just earned him the prestigious Elizabeth Medal of Honour from the RHS.

The first night of Richard Sheridan's classic comedy ‘The Rivals' did not go according to plan. Critics thought it was too long, the Irish gentry in the audience were insulted, and an actor was pelted with rotten fruit. It closed after one performance on 17th January, 1775. But then… after eleven days of rewrites, recasting and edits (a process Sheridan called “prunings, trimmings and patchings”), the show re-opened - and became the much-loved hit it remains to this day. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly expose how Sheridan exploited his notoriety in Bath to put bums on seats; unpick how the play's famous ‘Malapropisms' achieved seminal status; and revisit the best of Sheridan's real-life one-liners… Further Reading: • ‘The scourge of Bath' (The Guardian, 2004): https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2004/may/15/theatre • The Dramatic Works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan (Cavan Library): http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/file/Local-Studies/Library-Scanned-Docs/The_dramatic_works_of_Richard_Brinsley_Sheridan.pdf • ‘What Are Malapropisms?'
