[This show first aired 4/14/2008]

Yuri's night.

Phil got a little confused on the story of Gagarin's marriage. Gagarin was married to Valentina Goryacheva, not Valentina Tereshkova. 

• Our Tales of the Paranormal section: "Mutants live in the underworld of Moscow."
• Phil is six months into his "No Mammals" diet. This is an ethical decision on his part. 
• Stephen points out that low carb dieting would be incredibly hard without meat. 

   

• Stephen agreed to try a mammal-free low carb diet and exercise program. But he suspects he will get tired of chicken and fish.
• We marked the passing of Charlton Heston with a quote from a certain dystopian sci-fi movie.

  Phil quoted Michael Anissimov:

  ...everyone will be a vegan soon, if for nothing else, that in vitro meat will be better and cheaper.
