In this episode of 'Stuff They Don't Want You To Know,' host Noel and producer Dylan dive into a wild mix of listener mail, starting with a bizarre but fascinating fact from Xevious Rex about raccoon baculum toothpicks—using the penis bone as a makeshift toothpick, a practice humorously dubbed 'hillbilly toothpick.' The conversation then shifts to police database conventions like FNU (first name unknown) and LNU (last name unknown), with a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to use these as aliases for privacy, though with a clear disclaimer that it's not legal advice. The episode explores the myth of Junghoon Kim, allegedly possessing a 276 IQ—the highest ever recorded—only to be debunked as likely a hoax fueled by internet memes, flawed sources, and the inherent limitations of IQ testing. The hosts critique the test's inability to measure real-world intelligence, its potential for elitism (especially in groups like Mensa), and the absurdity of claiming such an astronomically high score. Later, a military listener, Sergeant Will, suggests that many UFO sightings could be explained by advanced rigid-hulled airships—stealthy, high-altitude surveillance craft—supported by real projects like the 2004 Ascender and modern tech like the CIA’s 'Ghost Murmur,' a quantum magnetometry system capable of detecting human heartbeats from hundreds of miles away. The episode ends on a lighter note with a joyful voicemail from 'Troglodyte' in Tennessee, celebrating free rutabagas and launching a whimsical 'Rutabagaverse' universe, complete with a fictional crypto figure, Donnie LeBoy. The tone remains irreverent, curious, and deeply skeptical of both urban legends and institutional claims.
Raccoon baculum toothpicks are a real, if gross, folk practice—though not recommended for DIY attempts.
Police databases use FNU/LNU as placeholders for unknown names, and some suggest using them as aliases for privacy (not legal advice).
The claim of a 276 IQ is likely a hoax; such scores are statistically implausible and contradict the nature of intelligence testing.
IQ tests measure only a narrow form of cognitive ability and are easily gamed or misinterpreted.
Rigid-hulled airships and stealth surveillance tech like 'Ghost Murmur' could explain many UFO sightings.
