Missed Correction

• “A group of geese is called a gaggle on the ground, or in flight a skein or a wedge (not a gander).” - David


• “Homeboy on your latest podcast episode pulled a dirty trick with that whole "natural disaster" thing. Here is the Oxford definition: "a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life." It is universally known that the phrase refers specifically to extreme weather events events and ocean/seismic activity. He HAD to use that phrase to keep his trivia question difficult enough to not give away that the answer was a disease, but in my opinion it just indicates that the question should be framed a different way. Using the term "natural disaster" is deceiving, and completely incorrect according to popular use! I call bullshit.” - Tim, MN
