    The World According to Leo

    Mick from the Chatroom points out that while Bob Packett may have reached 1000 episodes in his "History According to Bob" podcast much earlier than Dick and Leo (see Episode 838), Leo has done about 2,350 podcasts since he started. Take that, Bob.

    Spontaneous Knotting
    In Episode 796, Leo referred to a scientific study about the spontaneous knotting of cables. Verena Fuchs from Hayward, California, notes that the study, "Spontaneous Knotting of an Agitated String", won an Ig Nobel Prize for Physics in 2008, given by Improbable Research - for achievements that first make people LAUGH, then make them THINK.

    Verena also thanks Dick and Leo for giving her a break from worry, depression and desperation for not having had a job since 2007.
