What happens when you dig up Charlie Chaplin 11 weeks after his death? In this episode, Kat and Jethro wade into the bizarre tale of Chaplin’s posthumous kidnapping—complete with a ransom plot and a phone call that started with, “We have Charlie.” Spoiler: It’s not a prank if the coffin is real.
Then, ever looked at your fingers and thought, “Why... these?” We crack open the secrets of evolutionary biology to uncover the latest strange DNA findings about how human fingers evolved—and why fish might deserve credit for your ability to do jazz hands.
A corpse goes on tour and your thumbs have a fishy backstory. It’s another day in the Oddiverse.
