 Is it always 230? It's always 230. You want to show everybody? Why? It's time to go to the dentist. 230. That exists just for this joke? Yep. Cool. Good morning, John. I'm here with Tessa Violet, musician and singer and songwriter and friend of mine. We're going to do a thing. There's a Wikipedia page called Wikipedia Unusual Articles. I'm obsessed with this page. I don't know who curates it or how it gets made. I found out about this list from Wendover Productions. He does a series on this page, but I thought that we would just take five minutes, scroll through, pick one each, and then teach each other about the bizarre reality of the world. I'm through. There was once a place, I think it's still a place, called the Hala Kha Grabari. It was the only third order enclave. What does that mean? It sounds pretty creepy, right? Yes. But it's not that creepy. But it is very weird. There was a piece of India within a piece of Bangladesh that was within a piece of India that was within a piece of Bangladesh. Wow. So when they made the border between India and Bangladesh, there were lots of places where there were like Indian people living inside. I love everything about this. Although maybe it was bad for them. Well, it turned out that it was complicated and difficult to manage. This one was 7,000 square meters, a little less than two acres. Difficult to like provide services for the people who lived there. They started to basically swap them until they had no enclaves. And that was in 2015. So this was relatively recently that they finally... This is 2015? I thought you were going to say this was like the 1700s. No. I'm going to hope it all turned out okay. That's my thought. What do you have for me? I've got a cool one. Tempest prognosticator? Yep. That's probably how you say that. This is right. The year is the 19th century. The century is 1842. Specifically, it's 1850. Oh my gosh. That was pretty close. Inventor, Dr. Mary Weather, invents this thing to tell whether or not a storm is coming. And he uses 12 leeches. And as you can see, it's set up in sort of a round thing. It's like a carousel of leeches. Yes. Leeches, I guess, crawl upward and out of the water when they sense a storm is coming. Really? The leeches crawl up and they knock like into a tube and they knock a whale bone out, which rings a bell. And it was pretty accurate. Wow. Now, of course, we've got all the satellites and we've got barometric pressure and all that jazz, but we didn't have that. So instead it was like, well, the leeches, no. Yeah. The leeches have satellites. Yeah. They're a little civilization. I mean, you can say that it didn't suck. Sorry to leech their own. I don't know how to compete with that. It's really pretty. Is this an actual picture of it? Yeah. This is a replication of it. And those are real leeches inside. They don't think so. Where do you get leeches? Now? I don't know. Then, from any doctor. Yours was better than mine. That was so good. I control F for frightening. So I found that. Meteorology by Frightened Anelid. Anelid, which is the worm. How's my book? Oh, my gosh. It's so good. She got a cup of my book. It's so freaking good. I'm not much of a reader. Reading is a bit of a chore for me. I very rarely finish books, even books that I like. Well, I've started Sunday. Today is Monday. And I'm three quarters through it. And I was walking down the street reading it because I couldn't put it down. Thanks for joining me. Thank you for watching and for saving Tessa's new single crush on Spotify or watching it on YouTube or wherever digital music are found. Yeah, go jame to that. I like it a lot. Tell all your friends to like it too. I can't wait for the full album to come out. It's so good. Me too. John, I'll see you on Tuesday. Hi. I remember you reached out to me and you were like, hey, do you want to host this show? It's trivia. Really? Do you have a green screen? And I was like, mom, hey, green emailed me.
