Some days you just feel like browsing back on those oldies but goodies. On today’s show our pal Michael Lehet joins us to reminisce on the golden moments of the internet, before viral videos, podcasts and blogs captured our heart and minds, the glory days of Web 1.0.
Oh that great phenomena that amused us all at the turn of the century. You remember it don’t you? Dancing Hamsters, Bonsai Kittens, Bert is Evil, Fat Chicks in Party Hats, the British Coffee Pot Webcam and Joe Spark’s Radiskull and Devil Doll series captured a huge audience without ANY video at all.
The High Fructose Corn Syrup lobby must be sweating it because they launched an ad campaign on how nobody can seem to explain why this sweetener is bad for you. We can, and we explain why this controversial sweetener is so pervasive yet toxic on today’s show.

Today Apple is announcing some juicy new products included the rumored new fancy shmancy iTunes, the application you all use to listen to our show. Good thing, since the world might end on Wednesday.
The Large Hadron Collider, a 17 mile long doughnut-shaped tunnel that will smash sub-atomic particles together at nearly the speed of light will be activated this Wednesday by the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Some scientists are raising the alarm that the experiment might result in devastating phenomena, including quasars and black holes which might wipe out not only all life on earth, but the globe itself. What can we do to protect ourselves?
We think you’ll probably be so involved with your new iPod touch you won’t notice the world has ended and probably just go about your business.
One real thing that could end life as we know it is global warming and its a good thing that “going green” is all the rage right now. Everyone is doing their part to save the environment, even polar bears!
Green-colored polar bears are drawing questions from puzzled visitors at a Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in central Japan as three normally white polar bears changed their color in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
Zoo officials say high temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat. The bears are expected to return to their natural color when the algae growth subsides in November.

I enjoyed this show a lot! I really would love to hear more health/science related stuff from you guys.
I get *HYPE* about high fructose corn syrup! Those commercials make me crazy. How can you have HFCS in moderation….when it’s in EVERYTHING?!?!
Anyway..great show!
Hello,
I am so glad you talked about the evils of high fructose corn syrup. When I saw the propaganda they’ve been advertising on TV, it really irritated me. Saying that sweetener is healthy is like saying smoking is good for you because it calms you down.
I once had a naturopath described it as something along the lines of, “if you have a food product and remove everything healthy, what you’d have left would be something like high fructose corn syrup.”
Thank you so much for showing your listeners the truth about this awful, awful food additive.
