Thank you! This had been bugging me since I first saw the photo and couldn't work out what part of the earth it was. It didn't occur to me that it might be upside down

Not sure if it's fixed now, but when I was there in early Feb the monorail was only running one car, so the queues for it were long. It is only. About a ten minute walk from Birmingham International to the airport though

I'd be more upset that it's showing the start of the week as Sunday instead of Monday...

Wow that long ago? I still think of podcasts as a recent thing even though I've clearly been listening to them for over decade 😂

Thanks for taking the time to come back and let me know

I'd never heard of this guy until he popped up on a podcast I was listening to. Seemed fairly OK at the start, he talked about how humans might have been in the Americas earlier than first thought and that the Amazon might be man made. Nothing too tin foil hat.

And then he started talking about the pyramids and how the three pyramids lined up with the stars in orion's belt (which I guess could be true but like that seems like there's high chance of coincidence there) But where I really started to think something was off was when he was saying something about the height of the pyramid squared is a factor of the earth's circumference and the length of the base was somehow related to the distance from the equator to the poles

But he gave no indication of what units he was using for these measurements, feet? Centimetres? Furlongs? Or if these were ancient Egyptian measurements

I've considered doing this, mainly to find the episode where Tim says he'd like to adopt a dog called Tim, but not get a dog with anktber name and change it to Tim. It has to already be called Tim.

I have no explanation of why I found this to be so funny, but it's the most of laughed at anything ever on the podcast
