Welcome to the Wonderphul World of Physics (COURSES: PH101) — Show # 85 — Sept 23, 2016

 

Dear creatures of space and time,

Welcome to the HAUNTED HOUSE OF PHYSICS!

Have you ever wondered whether it is all an illusion? Specially on Mondays?

 

Do you know what are the forces of nature that bring you up and down, that cause your actions and reactions, your forces and your (ehem) frictions?

Is the zombie in the box alive or dead?

What's that black hole doing in the living room?

Where in God's name did I put my atoms this morning?
And when the hell are we going to get the TELEPORTING THING?

Energy matters: Are you positive, negative, or neutron?
And when election comes, are you proton, or antiton?

These, and other pressing and important issues, will be the subject of today's show, the next in our series of COURSES, this one devoted to PHYSICS, 
 PHYSICS,  
PHYSICS!

We will talk about Greek bathtubs, apples falling on heads, human flies, UFO's, living dead cats in boxes, quantum particles, and many other daily events!

We will answer the following questions from our audience:

- What if my cat won't get in the box?

- Can you teleport by putting your head in the microwave oven and hitting "DEFROST"?

- Have you ever traveled through a black hole? Do they have beer on the other side?

- I think I have a quasar in my bathroom... What can I feed it?

- Is the speed of light getting lighter?

- What is the speed of light in the dark?

- Where can I discard my used electrons?

(Popoff is shy in front of cameras)

All in a TIME-BENDING episode of ONE HOUR ONLY! FROM 3:00 to 4:00 PM SHARP!

Dear arithmetic, algebraic and algorhythmic creatures,

Welcome to the Irrational Numbers of the Haunted House!

Come! Come one and all to find out square roots at our most geometrical musical show today, as in our series of COURSES, we now turn into MATHEMATICS.

Yes, it's MATH TIME. You cannot miss this number, so come with us and show your arhythmetics, your algo-rhythm and your integers!

Multiply your pleasure with our one and only show!

Today we have all sorts of numbers for you: rational, natural, real, hypercomplex; and our favorite, irrational numbers.

We'll sum, divide, square root dance and solve the x in x-cess! We'll bring you the magic number, the odd number and the pumpkin ∏.

We'll have equations, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, calculus, fractal geometry and chaos theory!

It's prime number time!

We deal with such psycho-mathematical problems such as numeracy, subitizing, dyscalculia, ageometresia, acalculia, numerosity adaptation effects, and mathematical maturity!

This is how Popoff taught himself the magic numbers:

Suffering arithmetic disorders?

Email us now and get a free dose of the Ghost Host's Mathematical Moonshine™:

Who says math is all arid theory and does not have practical applications?

"C'mon, Popoff, there's nothing easier than dividing a ghost number by itself!"

This is how your Host learned math, straight from Ptolemy,
way before that post-modern, heathenish invention of the "zero" (snort!)

History Repeats Itself AGAIN (COURSES: History 102) — Show # 82 — Sept 9, 2016

Dear Precambrian, Cenozoic, Oligocene and Cretaceous creatures,

Welcome to the HAUNTED HOUSE!
BROADCASTING FROM OUR BRAND OLD PLEISTOCENE HOUSE:

In our series of COURSES, today we took a second look at "the register of crimes and misfortunes" that humans like to call HISTORY!

Yes: for the second time! This is HAUNTED HISTORY 102! (waiving History requirements in all colleges of Tennessee and Sri Lanka).

Because we think it's important to talk about the issues nobody talks about anymore, and bring them to you simply and clearly:

Who did what when, and why?
Couldn't he or she have waited a little longer?
Is that all there was to it, or was there more?
And if there was more, where is it now?

Why doesn't what treat us to dinner anymore?

Is it angry at us?

You may ask, is WHAT angry at us?

And we shall say: EXACTLY.

For that is the question. To WHAT is the answer.

And so on, obviously.

 

So we bring you songs about this "fable agreed upon"! Today at 3:00!

Find out the answers to the most pressing historical questions:

- What month was Christmas celebrated in the Precambrian era?

- Who stole the goblin from the goblin jar?

- Exactly what day of the week the Earth was formed?

- What pillow did Napoleon nap on?

- Was Bush to Pleistocene what Dracula is to the Paleozoic? Or is this a false analogy?

- What was real quote from Julius Caesar when he saw Brutus murdering him, with all the censored words?

- When did the  war between Spain and Freedonia begin and what were the real reasons behind it?

- Who was the first prime minister of Fernando Po on the morning of July 2, 1945?

And many more!

With our special team of consultants and panel of experts:

How did we get to this and when will all this exhibitionist obsession end?

History is like nail polishing time: it wears a leopard bathing suit and long eyelashes.

A history at our own house and those old days of yore: Popoff, second to the left after the first one to the right,

and your Host, the third transparent absence from the top:

History Repeats Itself (COURSES: History 101) — Show # 81 — Sept 2, 2016

Dear Fiends, Welcome to the horrific Haunted House!



We have a very important show for you today, for if you don't listen to it, we are condemned to repeat it!

For today Professor Popoff and  your Hysterical Historian Ghost Host take you on a HISTORY tour!

(The Historymaton will allow you to WATCH history happening in real time!)

ALL OF HISTORY will be explained today: from the Big Bang to Pokémon Go, in about 90 minutes.

This show fulfills all your History 101 core requirements!

Have you ever wondered about the real reason for the Crimean War?

Or who was behind the Zombie Apocalypse of 2004?

Or when did Lord Sandwich invent his most famous and delicious contraption?

Or why did the FIRST chicken cross the road? What road was it, and was it one way or not?

Who was the first brave man to order sarsaparilla?

What ever happened to Baby Jane?

When did California join the continent and who officiated the wedding?

Yes, today we bring you the 6 "W's" = who, what, where, when, why and what the heck.

All the research for this show has been possible with the help of our powerful Haunted technology and our state-of-the-art computers, like Doddie down here:

This is the first in a series of COURSES we offer for your advantage!

History will not only be discussed but also MADE during this show!

With our famous team of historians, like Madame LaRue, who sees history backwards AND forwards!

Witness history in the making!

All souls aboard the Time Travelling Train! It will take you from NOW to LATER and from HERE to THEN in just as long as it takes it!

With this Historic Soundtrack:

- Intro: Lew Welch, "History":

Every 30 years or so, Elders arm Children
with expensive weapons and send them away
to kill other children similarly armed.

Some do not return. Some return
maimed or terrified into madness.
Many come back brutal.

Nothing else changes.

Haunted House REVISITED ("A Brand Old House") – Show # 80 – Fri Aug 26, 2016

Dear Fiends, Welcome again to

There are many beautiful things one can say about spooks, ghost, goblins and vampires, but one thing we are not particularly fond of is working. We are a dissolute, contemplative lot. Have you ever tried sweeping the floors with uncorporeal hands? No you haven't. So listen:


We took a long 3 month break in which Popoff mastered the arts of Invisibility and Light Travel (the secret is not eating much before setting off) and in which your Ghost Host dedicated his whole soul to learning new mind manipulation techniques from secret grimoires and arcanes such as De Vermiis Misteriis, the Necronomicon and Winnie the Pooh Goes to Folsom Street.

(Your Host, not visible, testing today's show with one of his slave listeners)

And now we're back! With energies fully depleted, windows full of fresh cobwebs and enough rotten meat in our pantries!

Today we are giving you a TREAT: this is our 80th show and we are basically going to summarize what happened in all those 79 previous shows through the BEST SONGS we have ever played. All killers!

This is our FOURTH season! Will we be as moldy, crusty and dark as always, or will we finally cave in and sell out? Find out!

In this season we'll show you:

- How to properly skin a dandelion

- 3 easy steps to quit drinking formaldehyde

- 20% more Ghostness per show

- A noticeable increase in the quality Popoff's jokes

- The perfect way to prune your goblins

- How and when not to accelerate anti-matter

- And many more things! Stay tuned!

"Elvis, can you hear us? Tap once for "yes"!
