Our tenderest apologies to the daily live listeners, but be sure to follow @the404 on Twitter for an extremely truncated, liveblogish version of the episode. If you're now wondering what to do from 12-1PM every day, we recommend re-watching old episodes and pretending they're live. On today's show: Sunbathing groundhogs, instant Facebook millionaire David Choe, a CBS pilot show about Groupon, and Reading Rainbow's Lavar Burton strikes back.

What would you do if you found a bag of white powder tucked neatly into the textbook you just bought on the Amazon Marketplace?
