Brandi Howard, Julie Goldman and I kick things off by cradling their new reborn baby doll named Sterling. Then I get into the wildest story I've heard in a while: a lesbian bar that required N95 masks every single night finally tried loosening up for just one Saturday, and the internet nearly burned it down over accusations of ableism and "white they/them tears." After that we dig into the Real Housewives of New York Halloween special, breaking down Luann's 33-minute cabaret speech, Dorinda's repeat Lady Gaga costume, and Portia showing up two hours late in the snow, plus I've got thoughts on Real Housewives of Orange County's frozen fish era and the Bronwyn dating scandal nobody saw coming.

For the first time in more than half a century, NASA is preparing to send humans around the Moon, laying the foundation for a sustained lunar presence and the eventual journey to Mars.Just months after the successful completion of Artemis II, Sharon Cobb, Associate Program Manager for NASA's Space Launch System, returns to The TechEd Podcast with a behind-the-scenes look at the engineering, manufacturing, testing, data and emotions that went into the successful Artemis II mission.Sharon shares firsthand stories, like facing a critical hydrogen leak discovered during testing, how NASA solved the problem without rolling the rocket back from the launch pad, and why the mission ultimately achieved an astonishing 99.94% orbital insertion accuracy. She also explains how breakthroughs in additive manufacturing, digital modeling, and systems engineering are transforming the way rockets are designed, built, and tested.Looking ahead, Sharon outlines NASA's vision for NASA's Moon Base the infrastructure needed for a sustained human presence on the lunar surface, and the technologies that will make future missions to Mars possible. Along the way, she offers her perspective on the "Artemis Generation," why systems thinking matters more than ever, and how students can prepare today for careers that may not even exist yet.In this episode, you'll hear:3 skills students need if they want to work at NASAHow 3,800 suppliers across all 50 states help power ArtemisWhy NASA can now simulate missions that once required live testingThe manufacturing breakthrough changing how rocket engines are builtWhat it'll take to achievema sustained presence on the moon (and eventually Mars)3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Artemis II was the product of thousands of engineering decisions made between launches.Between Artemis I and Artemis II, NASA teams stacked and integrated the vehicle, completed multiple rounds of testing, investigated and resolved a hydrogen leak discovered during a wet dress rehearsal, and modified hardware to improve performance. The mission ultimately achieved 99.94% orbital insertion accuracy, validating years of analysis, simulation, testing, and problem-solving across the program.2. NASA's success depends on a nationwide manufacturing ecosystem. The Artemis program relies on 3,800 suppliers across all 50 states to provide the components, materials, and systems required to build and launch its missions. Sharon emphasized that behind every launch are manufacturers, technicians, welders, quality professionals, and skilled tradespeople whose work must meet exceptionally demanding standards because many of these components have only one opportunity to perform.3. The Artemis Generation will build Moon Base and carry humanity farther into deep space. As NASA shifts its focus toward Moon Base, future missions will require the engineers, technicians, program managers, systems thinkers, and manufacturing professionals capable of building lunar infrastructure and eventually enabling missions to Mars. Sharon highlighted multiple pathways into those careers, including internships, two-year technical degrees, certifications, apprenticeships, and traditional engineering programs, emphasizing that there is no single route into a place like NASA.Resources in this Episode:Catch up on the story by starting with episode 1 with Sharon Cobb: From the Moon to Mars: NASA's Artemis Program and the Future of Space ExplorationArtemis ProgramSpace Launch System (SLS)Get access to NASA Career & Internship resources and more on the show notes page: https://techedpodcast.com/cobb2/We want to hear from you!

How should followers of Jesus understand God's heart and purposes for the Jewish people and why does it matter today? This opening episode launches a new series exploring Israel's place in the biblical story: past, present, and future. While sincere Christians hold differing views on these these questions, our aim is to listen carefully to the whole counsel of God's Word. Together, we will study these key passages in Paul's letter to Rome, seeing how the contribute to his overall argument. As we do so, we will ask: How can we reflect GOd's heart toward the Jewish people in a divided culture today?

Power Never Stands Still: Kent Hance on Wild Criminals, College Football's $47 Million Problem & the Nicknames You Never Forget Episode Description Is your power increasing or decreasing, and do you even realize which direction it's going? Kent Hance opens this episode of Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas with a deceptively simple saying that applies to politics, business, leadership, and life: "Power is always decreasing or increasing. It never stays the same." His advice is just as direct: pay attention, keep moving, and never assume your position is secure. From there, Kent launches into another collection of stories that prove truth can be far stranger, and much funnier, than fiction. First up is a Florida man attempting the world's slowest getaway while towing a mobile home with no tires. When police came after him, he tried to outrun them. As Kent observes, if your getaway vehicle is dragging a mobile home across the pavement, escaping the police probably isn't in the cards. It may be time, as he suggests, for a category beyond "stupid criminals": "Very stupid criminals." Then there's the Powerball winner who collected more than $167 million and subsequently found himself repeatedly on the wrong side of the law. It is a fascinating reminder that suddenly acquiring a fortune doesn't necessarily change your judgment along with your bank account. One of the episode's most memorable moments comes from England, where a couple was sent home from the hospital after being told their baby wasn't ready to arrive. The baby apparently had other plans and was born in a KFC parking lot. That naturally led to one irresistible nickname suggestion: "Colonel Sanders." Dad liked it. Mom was considerably less enthusiastic. That sends Kent down memory lane with some of the unforgettable nicknames he encountered growing up, including Fastball Walker, One Arm Jimmy, Snake, Bullet, and Cobb. He also recalls the legendary football nickname Night Train Lane and the headline that helped Lane embrace it: "Night Train derails Choo Choo." It's vintage Kent, a seemingly simple conversation about nicknames that turns into a trip through small-town Texas culture and football history. The conversation then tackles one of the biggest transformations in college sports: NIL money and the transfer system. Kent discusses the enormous sums being spent to assemble college football rosters, the relationship between spending and rankings, and why he believes the current system cannot continue indefinitely without new rules. He also tells a hilarious Texas Tech story about a basketball player named Sam who wanted absolutely nothing to do with class. A coach personally got Sam out of bed, dressed, and delivered to class, only to discover moments later that Sam had already made it back to bed And the strange stories keep coming. A frustrated shopper allegedly decides a gun is the best way to deal with a long checkout line, only to make the investigative work considerably easier by leaving her wallet behind. There's also an international airport story involving a truly bizarre discovery inside a passenger's luggage, leaving authorities with one obvious question: Where did it come from But amid the outrageous stories and one-liners, Kent offers some genuinely useful wisdom about friendship and reconnecting with people from your past. If too much time has passed, he says, don't let embarrassment keep you from reaching out. Sometimes the best approach is to skip excessive apologies, reconnect, and move forward. There's even time for one of the great household battles of our era: broken technology. Kent recounts the battle over the malfunctioning blinds in his den, which suddenly became an extremely high-priority repair when football season approached. Priorities, after all, are priorities. The episode closes where it began, with Kent's reminder about power, momentum, and the danger of standing still: "You're either increasing it or decreasing it. It never stays the same." From college football and small-town nicknames to bizarre criminals, friendship, politics, bad driving, and the arrival of "Colonel Sanders," this episode has all the ingredients that make Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas so much fun: great stories, sharp observations, Texas humor, and wisdom hiding in the punchlines. Subscribe to Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who appreciates unforgettable stories, common-sense wisdom, and a laugh they didn't see coming.

It was once a diagnosis widely believed to be an absolute death sentence, but much has changed since the earliest years of the AIDS epidemic. There have been tremendous advances in detection and treatment which have dramatically improved health outcomes for millions. Still, an estimated 1.2 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV, and 13% of them don’t know it. That gap is tied to barriers in access to testing, treatment, and ongoing care, and it continues to contribute to increases in new diagnoses. On today’s special edition of Closer Look with Rose Scott, we look beyond the disease itself to examine how stigma is also a factor. Our panel discusses efforts to confront and reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. If you or someone you know is in need of testing for HIV/AIDS, you can access these resources: AID Atlanta, Grady Healthcare, Cobb & Douglas Public Health, CVS Minute Clinic, AvitaCare Atlanta. Guests: Jerrell Hardnett, associate director of education & advocacy at GLAAD, and the author of GLAAD's sixth annual State of HIV Stigma Report Tim'm West, executive director of Rustin Institute Nicole Roebuck, Executive Director of AID Atlanta Pastor Eric Thomas, Saint Peter Missionary Baptist Church and a founder & President of Metro Atlanta Ministerial AllianceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message from Exodus 20.17, we confront the final commandment: "Do not covet." Coveting is more than wanting something. It is a misplaced desire that looks to possessions, relationships, status, and circustances to provide security, fullfillment, significance, and contentment that God alone can give.

In Episode 110 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich continues his conversation with Tyler Cobb, Partner at Taft Law in Phoenix, Arizona, and the principal architect of Arizona House Bill 2999, on the state's new State Affordability Infrastructure District, or SAID, framework signed into law by Governor Hobbs on June 5, 2026.  Tyler shares his path into public finance, from starting as a summer associate at Ballard Spahr in Phoenix to representing developers on Arizona Community Facilities District transactions at a time when few public finance attorneys wanted that role, through his move to Taft a year ago. He then explains how House Bill 2999 came together, including the role of the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona, the year-long stakeholder engagement process, Governor Hobbs's focus on housing affordability, and the connection between cost of capital for horizontal infrastructure and the price of a finished home.  Lastly, Carter and Tyler discuss the state of district financing in Arizona, including the 1988 Community Facilities District Act, the local approval bottleneck that has made district formation unpredictable, Arizona's $347 million of new money district financing from 2019 through mid-2025 compared with Colorado, Texas, Florida, and Utah, rising horizontal construction costs, the taxpayer protection and disclosure requirements built into the SAID Act, and why the new framework governs how infrastructure gets financed rather than what gets built.  In this episode, you'll learn:  How Arizona's Community Facilities District Act has worked since 1988, and why the extent of local involvement required to form a district became the primary bottleneck rather than any deficiency in the statute itself.  Why Arizona financed $347 million of new money district infrastructure from 2019 through mid-2025 while Colorado financed $11.6 billion, Texas MUDs $8.9 billion, Florida CDDs $8.4 billion, and Utah PIDs $4.5 billion.  How Governor Hobbs's focus on housing affordability, and Arizona's fall from 33rd to 45th in the nation on affordability, shaped the framing and the legislative path of the bill.  Which features Tyler drew from Colorado metropolitan districts, Utah districts, Texas MUDs, and Florida CDDs while using the Arizona CFD Act as his drafting template.  How the legislation builds in taxpayer protection through 100 percent landowner consent to form, a detailed formation petition, Arizona Finance Authority oversight, annual district reporting, and a homeowner disclosure form at resale.  Why the SAID Act operates strictly as a special purpose financing act and does not touch zoning, entitlements, design standards, plans and specifications, or the conveyance and acceptance of completed infrastructure.  Why the 6.5 percent annual rise in horizontal construction costs over the past six years, compared with roughly 3 percent per year in the twenty years before that, makes every year of financing delay more expensive for developers and homebuyers.  How municipal concerns around staff capacity, administrative burden, and political exposure were addressed so that cities and counties keep their entitlement authority without having to administer additional districts.  Show Notes Tyler Cobb Contact Information W – https://www.taftlaw.com/  O – (602) 240-3035 E – TCobb@taftlaw.com  Plus: Whenever you're ready, here are 4 ways Launch can help you with your project:  Prepare a Special Tax District Bond Analysis for your Project – If you have a project in AZ, CA, CO, ID, NC, NM, SC, TX, UT, WA, contact Carter Froelich and have Launch prepare an initial complimentary high-level bond analysis for your project.  Add Favorable Financing Language to Annexation and/or Development Agreements – Create certainty and flexibility related to your project's infrastructure financing by having Launch professionals prepare handcrafted favorable financing language for inclusion in your Annexation and/or Development Agreement.

In this message from Exodus 20.16, we study the 9th word: "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor." In a world dominated by rumors, online outrage, half-truths, gossip, and public accusations, God call His people to be true witnesses. This command reaches beyond obvious lies and includes deception, exaggeration, malicious reports, unverified claims, and actions that wrongly damage one's reputation. As we look at this Word, we will look to Jesus who is "the way, the truth, and the life." We will also learn how to walk in the light, handle information wisely, and reflect God's heart for truth in all areas of life.

Are injuries becoming a real concern for the Alabama Crimson Tide heading into their SEC road test against the Kentucky Wildcats? Alabama starting right guard Michael Carroll is listed as doubtful, while several other Crimson Tide players are dealing with injuries ahead of Saturday's matchup in Lexington. We break down what Carroll's potential absence could mean for Kalen DeBoer, Keelon Russell and an Alabama offensive line already being tested early in the 2026 college football season. Meanwhile, Kentucky enters the game expecting to be close to full strength. Is this already a defining game for new Wildcats head coach Will Stein? Kentucky opened the Stein era with a 45-13 win over Youngstown State, but beating No. 13 Alabama would immediately change expectations in Lexington. Can the Wildcats pull off their first home win over Alabama since 1997? Plus, we hit several other major college football storylines:

"Do Not Steal" may sound simple, but the 8th Word reaches far beyond shoplifting, robbery, or the theft of a soda from a vending machine. In this message, we explore how theft begins in the heart before it ever become an outward action. We will learn how God instituted boundaries for Israel that respected justice, restitution, personal responsibility, and the dignity of our neighbors. Theft is never merely a property issue; it is a spiritual one. Join us as we discover that this Word is not only a prohibition, but an invitation into our new life in Messiah that produces honesty, contentment, godly work, restoration, and love for others.

How does land development actually create wealth and how do you protect yourself from losing your capital along the way? In this episode of The Practical Wealth Show, Curtis May sits down with real estate developer and HBG Capital founder Brandon Cobb to unpack the economics of land development, capital preservation and building long-term wealth. Brandon's journey began after unexpectedly losing his medical-device sales job. After several failed entrepreneurial attempts, he entered real estate, eventually growing from house flipping into construction, capital raising and residential land development. But the journey wasn't without expensive lessons. Brandon shares how one land-development mistake resulted in a seven-figure loss and the rules he follows today because of it. Curtis and Brandon discuss: Land development and entitlement How developers force appreciation Capital preservation Return of capital vs. return on capital Real estate due diligence Evaluating an investment sponsor/operator Multiple exit strategies Passive vs. active real estate investing Building assets from business income Lifestyle design Financial freedom Using wealth to create meaningful experiences Brandon also explains why investors should understand what would have to happen for an investment merely to break even before getting excited about projected returns. This conversation isn't just about making money. It's about protecting capital, creating assets and ultimately using wealth to create greater control over your life.

A visit with Chauncy Cobb of A-State Football!

At Cobb County's 'Back to School' faculty rally, superintendent (and Trump fan-boy) went off on a 12-plus minutes long political bender that sent dozens of Cobb educators heading for the aisles and exits, prompting scrutiny from the school system. On with me to discuss the event, the tone, the aftermath and the intimidatory effect of the grilling teachers are taking (will there be disciplinary action?) and how one school board race in that county could change everything (eventually) is freelance journalist, Cobb County Courier contributor Rebecca Gaunt.

Obedience matters to God This lesson, based on Exodus 4 & Genesis 17, explores our commitment to make God's standards and commands our priorities.  Key ideas explored include: (1) Moses struggle to obey God, (2) components of Abraham's covenant with God, (3) Moses failure and Zipporah's obedience, and (4) God's expectations for his people.  The lesson concludes with the encouragement to humble ourselves in complete and total obedience to God, and an invitation to respond to the message.

What does it mean to truly long for god? In this message from Psalm 84, we explore the deep blessing found not in perfect circumstances, but in dwelling with God, drawing strength from Him through seasons of weeping, and trusting His goodness above every distraction. As we set the "highways" of our hearts twoard Him, God meets us with His presence and turns dry valleys into places of renewed strength. We are also challenged to consider how a life centered on God shapes the way we love our neighbors. Discover why one day in God's presence is better than thousands elsewhere and how to pursue a deeper hunger for Him in everyday life.

Zita Cobb argues that Canada's economic challenge isn't a lack of assets, but a failure to recognize and develop the resources, knowledge, and people already rooted in communities across the country. The Newfoundland entrepreneur, who began her career in Calgary's oilpatch and went on to build the acclaimed Fogo Island Inn in her hometown, explains how place-based economic development can turn local strengths into wealth-generating opportunities. A judge for this year's Hunter Prize, Cobb also reflects on Canada's decline in entrepreneurship and what it will take to create the conditions for more people to build businesses where they live.

Georgia Primary Day: Turnout Surges, Sports Betting Money Floods the State, and Kemp Signs a Major Elections Bill | Where The Party At? Podcast Primary Election Day is here in Georgia, and in this episode of Where The Party At?, Eldredge and Saba break down the latest turnout numbers, the massive influence of sports betting money in state politics, Governor Brian Kemp's controversial elections bill, and whether Donald Trump can continue his winning streak in Republican primaries. More than one million Georgians cast ballots during early voting a 19% increase over the 2022 midterm primary. But who's actually voting, and what does it tell us about the races ahead? We also unpack how a super PAC funded by major sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel has spent over $10 million in Georgia legislative races, all in an effort to legalize sports betting. Plus: Governor Kemp signs HB 369, which will make many local elections nonpartisan in five metro Atlanta counties. Democratic district attorneys, including Fani Willis and Sherry Boston, prepare to challenge the law in court. Trump tests his influence in Indiana, Louisiana, and Kentucky. Mike Johnson defends congressional stock trading. We celebrate the record number of early voters who showed up to make their voices heard. Topics Covered Georgia Primary Election Turnout Over 1 million Georgians voted early, up 19% from 2022. Democrats accounted for 56.7% of early voters, compared to 41.7% for Republicans. Voters aged 65+ still dominate turnout, but their share dropped from 57% to 50.4%. Nearly 78% of early voters ages 18–29 did not vote in the 2022 primary, signaling major new participation. Sports Betting PAC Spending Sports betting companies formed the “Win for America” PAC. DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Bet365 have poured more than $10.3 million into Georgia legislative races. Polls show 63% of Georgians support legalized sports betting, and nearly 80% want a statewide referendum. Kemp Signs HB 369 Starting in 2028, local elections in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties will become nonpartisan. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

In this episode, Wes Cobb reflects on his career at JLJ, a leading critical infrastructure construction company, and his journey from field operations to project management, finance, and ultimately CEO in 2022. He discusses JLJ's specialized work renovating and upgrading mission-critical facilities, including data centers, hospitals, and telecommunications sites where uninterrupted power and cooling are essential. Cobb shares how the company's rapid growth exposed gaps in its leadership structure, prompting the creation of an executive leadership team, clearer organizational roles, regular leadership meetings, and a structured superintendent training program. He also offers candid insights into his own leadership evolution, emphasizing the importance of having difficult conversations, empowering others instead of micromanaging, and focusing on strategic direction.

The SVU squad investigates when conservative pundit Martha Cobb (played by Rhea Seehorn) is raped during a riot at Hudson. Unlike other victims, she's dismissive of Lt. Olivia Benson's empathy. Sgt. Fin Tutuola arrests the Antifa demonstrator who held the protest sign Cobb was violated with. But Detectives Amanda Rollins and Sonny Carisi find an alternative suspect: a devoted fan who's also a violent extremist. ADA Rafael Barba worries Cobb's affect will turn off the jury. At trial, she seems more focused on scoring political points with the defense attorney than obtaining a conviction against her rapist. But when new evidence surfaces calling the suspect identification in doubt, Barba makes a bold move. We're talking about Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 19 episode 12 “Info Wars.” Our returning guest is Kimberly from the “A Date with Dateline” podcast.

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, recounts how, during the Civil War, General Shermantargeted "great houses" like that of Confederate politician Howell Cobb for destruction to cripple the planter class. Field Order 15 initially provided a path for land reform by settling refugees on abandoned plantations, but the policy was reversed by Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination. Planters regained their property, and formerly enslaved families were evicted and forced into exploitative labor contracts, representing a tragic "lost opportunity" for reconstruction. (14)1854 PERU

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.
