Xerxes The Dumb, Battle Of The Bulge, Drunkard’s Cloak & Freak Diving

Mel will take us back to olden times where we’ll meet Xerxes the Great, a Persian ruler. While trying to get his invasion force across the Bosporus strait (between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, things went very wrong. So, he decided to take out his anger on the sea. Yup. Then Rod will tell us a very strange yet somewhat hilarious story about a man whose female boss told him he must stop wearing his pants to work because his bulge was too much of a distraction. Next, we’ll learn how people who drank too much alcohol were treated and shamed. Lastly, we’ll learn about the sport of free diving. Both of us think it sounds ridiculously scary, and absurdly absurd.
