Episode 13: Ong's Hat

Hats are neat. Where would a high-class Kentucky woman be on derby day with out her hat? How many fly ball would outfielders have missed without their trusty baseball caps blocking the sun? How would we have opened a gateway to other dimensions if not for Ong's Hat? I reiterate, hats are neat.

On this episode we're talking about Ong's Hat, one of the early Internet's oddest legends. Who'd have though all you need to travel to other dimensions are a couple of Ivy League dropouts, a dash of eastern spiritualism and an egg? I'd have guessed you'd need at least an alien or two.
