H-h-h-hi W-w-w-weirdos. Is it cold in here? Or am I just CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN?!

TW: death, desecration of a corpse, near death experiences, suicidal ideation & mental health struggles, mention of Hitler, murder trial chat, real gross body stuff Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, frigid and freaky, pleasant and possessed and everything in between! Everytime we get together we talk about something WEIRD and this week is bursting at the seams with strangeness. First we tackle some "old business" and check in with each other on the KAREN READ RETRIAL-- boy is that getting juicier and juicer by the day-- and Lauren shares a recent strange experience she had with a stick of eyeliner. Lauren kicks off the main event with A THOUGHT she had about time. Are there different times of the year, months-weeks-days, that harbor darkness? Why does it pour when it rains? Why is April the most cursed month in recent human history? Why do wars begin in August? Our ancestors had rituals to get us through these tougher months-- are we self perpetuating the fear and therefore the trauma? Could we benefit from ancient rituals to aid us in living through the tougher times? Then Ashley bursts through the door along with MISS FRIZZLE for some human body mysteries! Starting off with a phenomenon known as the "Returning Soldier Effect" and we question why more male children are born directly after war. Several theories have been presented, but it's still quite the mystery. Then we move on to FROZEN PEOPLE starting with the story of Jean Hillard who spent 6 hours freezing in the snow back in 1980 and SURVIVED!! Then we wrap up the episode discussing CRYONICS and the dangers of cryogenically freezing your body in the hopes of being reanimated when the technology catches up to the theoretical science in the future.
