Detailed Show Notes

Topics covered:

• Alex makes up a bunch of nonsense about Porton Down releasing foot-and-mouth
• 2007 UK government report on the foot-and-mouth outbreak
• Not sure if Janes covered race-specific bioweapons, but American Free Press did
• Alex thinks that a subsidiary of the Carlyle Group purchased Porton Down, which is not true. Porton Down is actually a large science park, the lab Alex is thinking of is called the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory
• Alex covers stories of cannibalism in North Korea
• Alex mixes up the story of Kim Jong Il kidnapping two South Korean movie-makers, and a story about Kim Jong Il apologizing for special forces agents kidnapping Japanese nationals in the 1970's and 80's
• Alex thinks that North Korea is a major exporter of opium. It is not. Afghanistan (and Myanmar back in 2003) were by far the world leaders on that front
• Alex is wrong about why some people have two different colored eyes
• Alex is wrong about John Dewey creating the Dewey Decimal System. That was Melvil Dewey, and he really sucks
• Coalition forces needed to print dinars with Saddam's face on them because the people in Iraq had lost confidence in the only other currency
