## Resource

The moral of today's yapping is that both KT and Maddie apologize mid-puke, KT has never resisted the siren song of a fireball shot, and neither of us will ever stop talking about American Girl Dolls. After discussing such pressing matters, KT teaches us all about dire wolves, who are so not back, unless you only care about looks! Then Maddie tells the story of the Library of Alexandria and how it was maybe destroyed? Or maybe it wasn't, we don't really know!
