	B: I gotta throw one good quote out here that the governor said. This one is pretty compelling. He said, "In your gut, you could tell it's otherworldly." I mean, that's all—what else do you need, you know? If your gut's telling you it's out of this world, then... done.		B: I gotta throw one good quote out here that the governor said.

			S: The other bit of UFO news in the last week was that the French government released a massive UFO database. Basically, their government's UFO files.

			R: Their X Files.

			P: Les Blue Book.

			J: The French have a government?

			P: ''(chuckles)''

			R: The French have a {{w\|David Duchovny}}?

			S: So, apparently, there's a hundred thousand documents on this database that they basically just opened up and it took about three hours for the server to crash because of everyone accessing it.

			R: Or aliens accessing it. I guess; I don't know.

			P: Also, it was French technology, so... you know.

			R: French technology?

			P: At least it didn't surrender.

			R: I was about to say, "shouldn't you be saying it surrendered?" ''(mock laughter)''

			P: You're a little late on the joke, Rebecca, OK? Back up.

			R: Uh, you're a little late on the joke; like, ten years late.

			P: Excuse me.

			R: It's dead. Stop beating the dead horse.

			B: Did you guys hear—did you guys read about what was considered the most credible case in these files?

			E: I did not.

			J: Yeah, it was a "Lights over Phoenix", right?

			E: Phoe-''nix''

			R: French aliens?

			J: OK, go ahead, Bob. What was it?

			B: Well, just briefly, the most credible case, apparently, was this story from a 13-year-old boy and 9-year-old girl that saw these four small black beings, 47 inches tall, kind of like floating through the air, going through the ship and stuff. And then, of course, they ran home crying to the mommy and daddy, saying what happened. So when the police got there, they found a sulfurous odor and dried grass at the reported place where this sphere took off. Now that is the most credible evidence after how many entries are in this database? 1,600? 16,000 was it?

			S: 1,600; yeah.

			B: That's the best? That's the crème de la crème right there? Sulfur and dried grass?

			E: Smoking gun.

			B: OK...

			E: Has our country opened themselves up to a whole bunch of documents and stuff? I think we did some kind of recent purging of UFO...

			S: They... there was {{w\|Project Blue Book}}, which—

			E: Yeah, there was that.

			S: They made that public, right?

			''(others agreeing)''

			S: It's not in an on-line database, which I think is—what this is the first of. Yeah. They've unclassified or declassified a lot of the UFO files as well.

== Questions and E-mails () ==

=== PETA () ===
<blockquote>After listening to #87, i have two issues: 1. painting all animal right activests with a single brush 2. PETA wants all pets released as for #1, i am a longtime vegan and animal rights activist, and i completely against the ALF and whatever organization that guy is from who wants to euthanize the bear cub. He speaks only for himself and maybe his organization. i can not find one mention of the name of his group. i am surprised you guys are falling into the same trap as MSM and reporting this as he represents all of the animal activists. for #2, please site where you got that information from. all i can find was anti-PETA websites that make that claim and nothing to back it up. here is the FAQ i found on petas website, and look and answer #1: http://www.peta.org/about/faq-comp.asp it seems like they are more against puppy mills and cruelty to domesticated animals, and not the release of your pet dog or cat into the wild. how many logical errors and falicies were created in this podcast? i am writing this because i am a big fan of your show (yes, even Perry *can* be funny sometimes), but i was really dissapointed in the handling of this issue. thank you, Adam G. Philadelphia, PA </blockquote>

=== GM Food () ===
<blockquote>Hello, I have been trying to do research into the big debate over the safety of GM foods. In my research I have failed to find many reliable resources that aren't motivated by political agendas. Are some of them safe? Most of them safe? Are there many that are confirmed dangerous? If you can link or talk about any studies that test food safety with GM crops it would be greatly appreciate it! Love your show, Sean Safken Denver, CO </blockquote>

=== Satanic Barcode () ===
<blockquote>Hi Guys, Love the podcast, have been listening for a few months now and I am catching up with all the older episodes too, it help me keep sane at work in my mind numbing boring job, the quality to information is first rate plus the humour between the rouges is ace too! I have a 'believer' friend at work who has been telling me all sorts of stories about conspiracies and so on, and when I heard you out line the classic red flags and ploys they employ you are describing this chap, amazing! But one ting has got me wondering, he explained about the brackets on bar-codes and the middle and end brackets are 6 and there are 3 of them, you guessed 666! But I have wondered why this is as a bar code used 1 to 10 and logically the centre weighted number should be 5? However I do suspect there is a reason for this and I just don't know it yet, maybe you could throw some light on this subject? Did you get the Nikon D80 in the end, as you mentioned you were shopping for one? I've just got into photography and have this model too, not captured any ghosts yet! Kind Regards Damian 'Shropshire, England' PS, a big thank you to all involved in the podcast. Damian Dodd </blockquote>

Last Week's Puzzle Between us, if I raise my goblet to you, and open my heart, on the grounds of conjecture, what psuedoscientific act am I performing?
