• Jonathan's childhood fascination with Egyptian mummification and the historical significance of ancient Egypt's timeline
• The "Wicked Bible" of 1631 that accidentally instructed readers to "commit adultery" due to a missing word
• Noah Webster's attempt to remove "smut" from the Bible by replacing words like "whore" and "teat" with milder alternatives
• The accidental discovery of phosphorus by alchemist Hennig Brand who was experimenting with buckets of urine
• The tragic and fascinating story of Grey Gardens and the complex mother-daughter relationship between "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Beale
