Well, I needed to hear the evidence first. And clearly... It's like Cyborg Aristotle. Something's going on. Yeah. But already, you know, this is not your average human. People listening are going to be like, yes, Dan. That's why we're talking about him. Exactly, yeah.

I think the teeth one is real. I think he actually pushed that, which that's one of the few things I know about Aristotle to think. But do you know what? Maybe women had fewer teeth back then. Maybe that's an evolutionary quirk that's happened since his time. Elephants can't bend their knees. I bet, did he ever see an elephant? That would be my first question. Elephants on Lesbos?

That's the dedication. Yeah. Didn't he have a thing about flies as well?

Wow. Well, if I was Aristotle... Well, you've got three sons, right? I have three sons. Yeah. I feel like it's a bit... I've got modern knowledge. I'm trying to put myself back into fourth century. Okay. Class on Excel spreadsheets.
