Tonight we bring you a ripe, spicy helping of weird news and discussion as we look at the possibilities of genetically engineering a spicy tomato, a look into eclipses and the beliefs of the ancient Babylonians, 3D printing homes on the moon, and we investigate the shocking truth about MSG! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher begins reading "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
