The second episode of #MoreLikeAncientFail-iens dropped today! Brandon and I discuss Aliens and the Civil War (yep) with Monster Talk's Blake Smith. All kinds of weird stuff, including The Ghost of George Washington (or maybe an alien in the guise of the ghost, who knows?).

My first job out of college was working in a newspaper clip room (ask your parents to explain). I would sometimes clip headlines or photo captions that I thought were funny. I ran across a few of these tucked in a book. I don't have any context for any of them.
