Always Wondered - Why Are There 24 Hours in a Day?

On this episode, we explore why there are 24 hours in a day.  It could have been any number, but somehow we wound up with 24, and we'll tell you why.  Also, where did the phrase "let the cat out the bag" come from?  Was there really a cat and, if so, what does a feline have to do with spilling secrets?  Plus, it's the Great Citrus Debate.  Which came first - the color orange or the fruit orange?  The answer may just make you question your entire crayon box!  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you've Always Wondered about.
