The first day of Victoria Day weekend gave us a lovely warm day with the thermometer pushing twenty degrees. We found time to enjoy the great outdoors. But then it turned cool again on Saturday. Some indoor days can be interesting also, especially every Saturday, as the noon CBC radio brings us Quirks and Quarks with Bob McDonald. Today we heard the official answer to a Truth or Fiction segment. Is it possible that one can get electrocuted during a thunder storm when bathing in the bathtub or shower? The answer was a shocking, "Yes." If lightning strikes your home or even nearby, it can travel through metal pipes and find you. It is best to turn the power off other items like Computers, Television as well as most others when possible. If you missed this Saturday's program (perhaps going somewhere on this long weekend) it can be heard again every Monday at ll:00 pm on CBC Radio 1, - the same station.
One of his guests today was Dr. Tony Barnosky who told us that our planet is facing heatstroke and global warming that, as it accelerates will cause the end of life as we know it with major extinctions as it transforms Earth's biology - perhaps within a decade. Another program to mark on your calemndar will be the Quirks and Quarks broadcast on June 10th at 7:30 pm. It will answer weird and many of our most challenging questions.
Bob McDonald's Quirks and Quarks Science program next Saturday will be:
"How French fries and Fast Foods take over your Mind." It should be interesting.
