Methuselah lasted less than a week while the Congo independence with Patrice Lumumba lasted 81 days. Both of them wished to be…

The podcasts main goal was to try and determine whether parasites are good or evil, presenting cases for both. First, the example of the wasps that are parasites to cockroaches was given. In this relationship, the wasp paralyzes the roach by stinging it. Then it stings the roach again in its head, turning into a puppet-like object. Following the two stings, the wasp guides the roach…
