On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start the show off talking about one of Cams Favorite topic, Sharks. Megalodon, the most massive shark ever to prowl the oceans, may have gotten so big that it was prone to extinction. For some mysterious reason, though the biggest and smallest members of the species were the same length, many of the giant sea monsters got longer over a 14-million-year period, and then, they all went extinct, new research suggests. Then, a new study has found evidence in Guatemala of a 2,000-year-old network of roads covering over 240 km (150 miles) that was used by the Mayans there for travel and for transporting goods.
Then, a Charlotte man says he saw a snake-like creature at a lake in Catawba County. The 76-year-old man, a retired Charlotte man who asked to be kept anonymous, said that he was staying at his house on Lake Norman last Thursday when he spotted the unknown creature. Finally, three years after CEO Jeff Bezos secured a massive dose of publicity with the announcement that Amazon was working on drone deliveries, that vision is a reality. Workers at a British fulfillment center are stuffing shoebox-sized packages—in one case with a Fire TV and some popcorn—and loading them into the belly of electric, quadcopter drones, which set off to the customer. The company claims the drones, guided by GPS and flying below 400 feet, can make deliveries within 30 minutes, from click to plop.
After the break Kyle and Cam talk some more about Gnomes. From sightings in Sweden to Germany, Norway, Finland, Brazil, the UK and America. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives Elite. Have a great weekend!
