Episode notes
Kids Turned Into Real Inventions
- Ruth Amos and Sean Brown build kids' invention ideas into real, often absurd prototypes like a seven-foot dinosaur that mops the floor.
- They accept designs from 4–11 year olds and bring one idea to life each month on their YouTube channel.
Bigfoot Declared Protected
- Scamania County (Skamania) outlawed hunting Bigfoot in 1969 to stop armed people roaming and shooting at vague human-shaped things.
- The ordinance declared the area a Sasquatch refuge with penalties of up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.
Tunnel Turned Into A Shopping Arcade
- The 1843 Thames Tunnel was relaunched in 1852 as the world's first underground shopping arcade with sword-swallowers and souvenirs celebrating bravery.
- The tunnel had been associated with crime and prostitution, so the relaunch aimed to rebrand it as a tourist destination.
