## Resource

This episode of the WEEK LINK is full of news because last week lots of people did dumb things. Keren , Brian and Mikhail couldn't get why a professor thought Romans learned shipbuilding from Malays, how Namewee got himself into some pretty hot soup and learned a few fun things about Taiwan! Mikhail will be away for awhile so there won't be an episode next week. We shall be back the week after that!
