Listener Mailbag 2

We're cracking open the mailbag once again to answer some dusty old questions you sent us a long time ago!

Ew, they're all rotten and goopy... well, we'll answer them anyway, because we care.

Follow us on Twitter @SciShowTangents, where we’ll tweet out topics for upcoming episodes and you can ask the science couch questions!

While you're at it, check out the Tangents crew on Twitter: Ceri: @ceriley Sam: @slamschultz Hank: @hankgreen
