MARTIN: That's so gross, although, I watched "Titanic" last night, and I've got to say, I was thinking about all those decomposing bodies in the ocean, all those feet. And there's this process, I believe it's called adipocere, by which saltwater turns fat into this soapy substance.ĬHILLAG: So it's kind of - the foot is held together in the shoe, and then the saltwater turns the fat - I guess it's like kind of gelatinous and holds it all together. MARTIN: Oh, so the rest of the body decomposes.ĬHILLAG: Probably yes.

There's this thing - you know, people that study waves say that a right shoe and a left shoe, being a different shape, would drift differently in the ocean, so it may be that somewhere, on some island, there are a bunch of left feet.ĬHILLAG: Another thing that I thought was interesting about this is one reason that you're getting feet and not other parts is that they believe the shoe is actually protecting the foot from the saltwater, where.

There are - and in all cases, there are no tool marks. Very disturbing.ĬHILLAG: There's no indication foul play is involved, although, I'm, like, what?ĬHILLAG: They have no information to suggest that the foot was forcibly removed. You remember we talked about, a couple of months ago, these three disembodied right feet? Two of them were size 12, they didn't know the size of the third, wearing running shoes, just the feet had washed up on shore around British Columbia. I do it on the subway, which is non-dangerous.ĬHILLAG: I have a most popular from Newser, you know, news every (unintelligible).ĬHILLAG: This is a follow up on one of my favorite stories in the world. I'm not a one-handed texter.ĬHILLAG: Yeah. MARTIN: Don't you need two hands to text? I don't know.
MR. SAM SPEAKING ABOUT HIS DRIVERS DRIVERS
SPOHRER: Although, looking at the whole country, apparently more than half of drivers under 29 text while driving, and it's legal. LAUREN SPOHRER: I've got one of the most-emailed from the Baltimore Sun, and it's about something called DWT - that's driving while texting - and apparently, Maryland is tied with Louisiana for having the fourth highest percentages of people who drive while texting. That was the most-emailed on Yahoo! right? MARTIN: Supply and demand, folks, supply and demand. All of a sudden, major weather problems in Australia and Eastern Europe, total decline in hops production and the extract runs out, leaving microbreweries high and dry. They just knew there was plenty of it, so much of it that you couldn't get a good price for hops. They could make this extract which was really easy to store and substitute for hops, and all the big, big breweries have, like, these long term-contracts, so that's why their prices are probably more stable.Īnd these hops extracts are in private hands, so nobody knew how much there was. And the glut had caused people to put less hops into production. Apparently there was a glut in hops, the little flowers that make aroma, and you know, taste and all that yummy range of flavor in your beers. It's going to be especially dire for those microbreweries.īARON: And there's a little bit of an interesting history here. It did.īARON: We've got a very serious hops shortage, international hops shortage. And the plane, however, was very, very seriously damaged, and you know, this is - as Matt pointed out this morning, this is an executive at Boeing - this is their worst nightmare, when you're sitting around in a board meeting and you say, well, at least the plane didn't split in two. Four of the five crew members onboard were slightly injured, but nothing totally serious. A large cargo plane crashed at the end of a runway, and it literally split in two while it was trying to take off Sunday. MARTIN: This is scary! I mean, luckily this was a cargo plane, so no one was hurt. MARTIN: Matt Martinez's worst nightmare? It's a long list.ĬHILLAG: The man has a lot of nightmares. IAN CHILLAG: Can I point out how often we have something that we call Matt Martinez's worst nightmare? I have one of the most-emailed at cnn.com. MARTIN: I'm going to start because I'm the boss today. But what's the fun in doing that? How about instead we talk about the most-emailed, most-viewed, most fascinating stuff on the Internet? Let's do The Most. We are always online at npr.org, and you know, we could talk about things that are moderately interesting, slightly amusing, halfway curious.
