Tonight we bring you a cat-aclysmic cacophony of speculation and reporting about our wide and weird world! Does owning a cat trigger schizophrenia? Will China use humanoid robots to build its Moonbase? What can a 1000-qubit quantum computer really do? What are thousands of UFOs doing in our orbit every month? These questions and more will be discussed and deliberated. After the break, we continue our reading series and Frobisher reads more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.
