This week we bring you an extra-long Side Trail Compilation in honor of our Leap Day Special bonus episode, featuring Side Trails 26, 27, 28, and 30.
Side Trail 26: We discuss the odd phenomenon of Uncanny Sight, aka Sightless Vision, and then we track the story of Dr. Nandor Fodor beyond the Alma Fielding case, following him into a new, unexpected role in the world of psychoanalysis.
Side Trail 27: MOZ shares with us his most intense real-life Doppleganger encounter story. A tale of tricksterism at it's best! This one is not to be missed.
Side Trail 28: As discussed in the Leap Day Special Episode, this Leap Day Special Side Trail is a replay of our Side Trail #14 which is all about the structure of hypercubes, better known as tesseracts.
Side Trail 30: We look deep into the origins of our modern measuring systems. Learn how the ratio of the size of human to the size of Earth led to the development of the most ancient of measuring systems. The truth just keeps getting weirder!
