The sky is black. The wind’s picking up.  The hurricane is coming.  Nothing you can do about it.  But wait!  Scientists from Dyn-o-Storm fly into the hurricane.  They release a chemical that stops the hurricane dead in its tracks.  Next time on To the Best of Our Knowledge, should we?  Just because we can?  We’ll get some perspective from the farms of the Amish.  And, we’ll hear the opinion of a Buddhist Astrophysicist.  Also, one woman’s crusade – she doesn’t believe HIV causes AIDS.
