Welcome to the Hidden Almanac, I’m Reverend Mord.
Today is January 16th, 2017.
It was on this day—
D: MORD, you got another thing! Under your hat this time!
I do not.
D: It’s right there—you just pushed it back under your hat! I saw you!
As this is radio, you are the only one who claims to have seen this, and you are known to be an unreliable witness.
D: Damn straight I am, but that’s not the point! You got things! Like—like—greenish things! Oh god! Is something wrong with your beetles?
For the hundredth time, Drom, I am not actually a group of beetles in a suit.
D: Mord! Is it the fungus?!
The…fungus…?
D: The one that ants get! The thing! The—the—whatsit—the zombie fungus! The cordy-forceps thing!
Do you mean the Cordyceps fungus?
D: Yeah! That one! The one that takes over bug brains and makes them into zombies! Mord! Are you gonna climb to the top of the radio station and sit there and then it’s gonna come out and there’s just gonna be this empty husk of plague doctor clothes and this giant mushroom sticking out of the top of your head and then it’ll explode?
I am going to do no such thing.
D: Please don’t because that would be incredibly gross and also then there won’t be anybody to get my jokes.
I do not get your jokes.
D: Yeah, but you don’t get them because you don’t want to get them. You get that “Oh god, why me?” look, and everybody else just looks confused. It’s kind of annoying. I don’t want to have to dumb down my humor for the masses, Mord!
Let us avoid that fate at all costs. Regardless, I do not have a fungus.
D: That sounds like something a fungus would say.
Sigh

D: If I got you a tube of Athlete’s foot cream, would you eat it?
I would not.
D: AHA! Because it’s a fungicide!
Because it would make me violently ill.
That’s the Hidden Almanac for January 16th, 2017. Be safe and stay out of trouble.
D: THERE’S ANOTHER ONE
No, there isn’t.
