Links discussed in episode:
TIL that in WWII, an Australian soldier removed his own appendix in the middle of a Philippine jungle in 1944, without any anaesthetic and with only the use of a mirror and an ordinary knife. The operation took 4 and a half hours and he stitched himself up with jungle fibre.
TIL that since roosters crow at an average of 130 decibels, their external auditory canals close off completely when they fully open their beak. This prevents them from damaging their own hearing when they crow.
TIL In 1883, gifts were distributed after a show in Victoria Hall.

Those in front were crushed by those behind them. 183 children between the ages of 3 and 14 died.
