Bones! They\\u2019re spooky. They\\u2019re creepy. They\\u2019re utterly fascinating!

This episode we dig up the science behind skeletons. We\\u2019ll look at how our bones grow, what happens when we break a bone and why bones last so long. Plus, we\\u2019ll meet a talking skeleton who will help us bone up on bone trivia!

And we have a mystery sound to tickle your auditory ossicles and a Moment of Um that answers the question: Why does time fly when you\'re having fun?

We\\u2019re taking a break after this episode and will be back with new episodes on Jan. 5th. Until then, we\\u2019d love for you to go check out our sister show Smash Boom Best (smashboom.org).

We\\u2019re also going to be doing a live virtual hangout in November where you can ask Molly, Marc, Sanden and Menaka all your questions. Anything you want to ask, we\\u2019ll answer! If you want to join us, the first step is to sign up for our totally free fan club (brainson.org/fans). In November we\\u2019ll send an email out to the fan club with more details about this free, virtual hang out. So keep an eye out for that!
