We start off this show by knocking out a few science stories: using dead pigs to investigate oceanic "dead zones," harvesting geothermal energy while causing minor earthquakes (Popular Science, April 2010), and why pigeons would be good on "Let's Make a Deal." Then it's on to the main event - TriviaGanza, the science news quiz. Mark and Mike go head-to-head in a battle of (nit)wits, answering questions about even more breaking headlines. Best of all, a home listener will walk away with some cash-ola. Are you the big winner? Well, we learn so much in this episode I like to think we're all winners. (But, really, it's just one of you.)

What we didn't get to: drilling into the Earth's mantle (again, PopSci) and dinosaurs get even older.
