Show Notes:
1. I stole the “Moon Patrol” gag from Melinda.
2. Red Sorghum (1987) is a great movie. How can you go wrong with Gong Li directed by Zhang Yimou?
3. Never put butter on a burn. Rinse it with cool water.
4. The Starship Kittykat would have to travel more than twice the speed of light to reach the stranded Tiger Men beyond Neptune in less than two hours. It’s not capable of that speed so couldn’t have reached them in time anyway.
5. “Owning a handgun is associated with a dramatically elevated risk of suicide, according to new [2020] Stanford research that followed 26 million California residents over a 12-year period.” https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/06/handgun-ownership-associated-with-much-higher-suicide-risk.html
