Wikisurfer 006 – Profane History

In episode 006, Kyle and Brandon examine how countries are born, that time America dropped bombs on its own citizens, the adventures of a proto-Indiana Jones, the delightfully sordid history of profanity, and the world’s first European samurai. But be warned: this episode is most definitely NSFW.
