This is fantastic story, like Giamatti’s easily good enough that he could have just asked, but the idea was so big in his head that it just seemed like a total pipe dream from his perspective. I genuinely cannot wait to watch him.

You make a fair point, but even assuming this level of hurricane was occurring previously, at least we can now monitor their frequency moving forward.

Edit: I just read the article, and it indicates all such recorded hurricanes were within the last decade

I’m a fan of Alton Brown and Kenji López-Alt

That’s not the issue here; try rereading the sentence as if the section in parentheses didn’t exist

Oh man, sometimes yes but sometimes not so much. Know how humans have 23 chromosomes? And we’re diploid, which means they come in pairs of 2?

Some plants have a few more pairs than that - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy And some plants have way WAY more than 23 chromosomes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by_chromosome_count There’s a plant at the bottom of that list that has 1260 chromosomes.

I only took 1 botany class back in college, so I don’t know or remember enough to talk about this in more depth. I really only know enough to be shocked by how crazy a plant’s genuine can be.

Please never fix that typo

This meme already ignores the fact that it’s only produced a calendar of 364 days.

Most proposed versions I’ve seen of this calendar have New Year’s Day as a standalone holiday, so the leap day presumably tacks on to that every 4 years?
