#D119 (devil’s darning needle to devolution)
Manage episode 348130059 series 2519434
I read from devil's darning needle to devolution.
Dragonflies and Damselflies are just long and skinny so obviously one would call them the "Devil's Darning Needle".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly#Dragonflies_in_culture
But there's also a plant!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis_virginiana
More info (but not a lot) about devilwood, a kind of olive.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartrema_americana
If you want to know more about "Devil's Theory", read this book. Maybe it'll help.
The word of the episode is "devil's food cake".
It has more chocolate than the standard (lame) chocolate cake so it's denser and richer and darker.
