Little Fish: Swallowing A Fabergé Egg

The episode opens with a fascinating fact about Montana's approach to highway speed limits before 1999. Rather than posting numerical speed limits, Montana highways featured signs that simply instructed drivers to travel at speeds that were "reasonable and prudent." This led to amusing speculation about what debates might occur between police officers and drivers, and whether philosopher cars followed police cars to adjudicate these discussions. The unusual policy stemmed from Nixon's 55 mph speed limit imposed during the oil crisis, which Montana abandoned entirely in 1995.

• Montana had no numerical speed limits until 1999, signs said 'drive what is reasonable and prudent'
• Nixon imposed a 55 mph speed limit across America during the oil crisis between the 1970s and 1990s
• After the limit was revoked in 1995, Montana decided to forego numerical limits entirely

A mind-bending fact reveals how Robert Redford, born in 1936, served as a pallbearer for a man who died in 1900. The explanation involves Liver-Eating Johnson, an American frontiersman whose mythology included claims of killing 300 Native Americans and eating their livers. The reality was far less sensational—he was actually friends with the tribe. After Redford portrayed him in a film, a campaign emerged to rebury Johnson in the Rockies as he'd wished, leading to Redford's involvement in the significantly delayed funeral service.

• Robert Redford (born 1936) was pallbearer for Liver-Eating Johnson who died in 1900
• Johnson's obituary was accidentally released 20 years before he actually died
• The myth claimed he killed 300 Native Americans and ate their livers, but he was actually friends with the tribe
• Johnson died penniless and was buried under a freeway, later reburied in the Rockies
