    We've saved some of the biggest stories of 2004 for our last week of summer programming.

    Protesters, dressed as Batman, scaled Buckingham Palace. Protesters, dressed as construction workers, broke into British Parliament. And Saddam Hussein, dressed as Saddam Hussein faced his first day in court following his capture.

    We dissect the conspiracy theories around Eron's Ken Lay and his mysterious death, George W Bush covers Eamon's "F**k It (I don;t want you back)", Fat Joe leans back and we provide a long awaited update on Aussie reality music TV sensation Selwyn.

    Plus our favourite film, Napoleon Dynamite, turns 20 and we put in a few calls and chat to people in his home town.

    We're halfway through our little sabbatical and getting ready to come back with our biggest season yet. In the meantime enjoy the tall tales of Malice at The Palace - the biggest brawl in NBA history, the time Britney married K-Fed and Mel's adventures with porno Tetris. Plus we've got shaved mouse mats, tornado chasers getting sucked out of ditches and we see whether or not reality show The Biggest Loser stands up against today's moral standards!

    We're still taking a short break but now is your chance to catch up on some of our bigger moments from 2004. The Killdozer rampage, Lance Armstrong's fall from grace and who could forget the time Dave Matthews tour bus dumped a full tank of human waste on the city of Chicago!?!?

    Also we have the body horror that was the reality series The Swan, a book of 10 Big Ones from Janet Evanovich, a new album from Hanson and we discuss the subtle differences between the US and Australian versions of People Magazine.

    So get your pink on, sit with your Mean Girls in the no smoking area of Fibber McGees as you study Yelp reviews in your fave battle jacket and enjoy.
