Fact check: Inaccuracies about population, dog color perception, and Mantis shrimp

This episode of No Stupid Questions covers some fact-checking of Mike's statements. Mike overestimates the population of the city he lives in and forgets to mention that dogs can also identify the color yellow. Additionally, Mantis shrimp can actually be eaten and their meat is described as intensely sweet. Lastly, the water around a Mantis shrimp punch does not reach the temperature of the sun's surface, but it still releases a significant amount of energy. The episode wraps up with a listener sharing a regret about choosing Harvard for her master's degree over a fully-funded opportunity at a local university.
