Jewel Wasps, Cockroach Zombies and Show Outro
The episode concludes with a nature clip from Stephen Fry describing the life cycle of the jewel wasp, which turns cockroaches into "zombies" to feed its larvae. The hosts jokingly compare the cockroach's fate to the career of Piers Morgan. They sign off with final Thanksgiving wishes and a reminder of the upcoming Sunday broadcast.
At the Black Hat conference, researchers demonstrated the WASP (Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform), a DIY drone capable of intercepting cell phone signals.
