New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast
Episode 190 - A Quick and Dirty Thirty
A short podcast this week with just the hosts talking about the contests and their favorite cartoons from the current week's issue of the New Yorker.
There is a question that was left unanswered about why zebras have stripes. We did a quick google search and found, "While scientists still debate the exact origins and functions of zebra stripes, their recent efforts have focused more closely on three possibilities; protection from biting flies, thermoregulation and protection from predators."

We discuss the winning entry for Contest #928 (More walkie, less talkie).
Finalists for Contest #930 (Whale, I'll be a sonar a beach).
Current Contest #932 (Zebras are always the last in lion).
