Hey, Wowzer fans, Mindy here.

And don't miss when Elmo from Sesame Street stops by Wow in the World to make us all belly laugh on November 24th.
Oh, but that's not all, Reg.
On December 1st, we are sharing our 250th episode of Wow in the World with all of you.

It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo!
Just one more turtleneck?
That should do the trick.
Oh, there we go.
Mindy, what is going on?
Oh, hey, Guy Razzi.
I'm just putting on all the turtlenecks I have in my closet to see how long my neck is compared to a giraffe's neck.
I see.
That's a lot of sweaters, Mindy.
Yeah, I know.
I lost count after the 11th turtleneck.
Anywho, while you're here, do you mind passing me the ruler over there?
I've been trying to reach for it the past hour, but my range of motion is significantly limited by these sweaters.
Mindy, don't you remember?
We have a game show to do.
Oh, that's starting now?
Yes, that's why I brought these podiums with me.
Oh, that's right.
Okay, hold the phone, Guy Raz.
Let me just turn on the neon gumdrop lights.
My eyes!
Mindy, are you sure that's not a fire hazard?
Yes, of course I'm not sure that's not a fire hazard, Guy Raz.
We probably shouldn't leave him on for more than like five minutes.
Uh, alright then.
Well, uh, here we go!
And now for everyone's second favorite game show after fishing for compliments.
It's Two What's And a wow.
With your hosts, Mindy and Guy Ross!
Welcome, welcome, boys, girls, French and fries!
Gluten...
Thank you for joining us on our brand new game show.
That's right.
It's a new daily game show where we tell you three scientific facts about something in your world.
It could be about animals, the solar system, vegetables.
Or even fish burps.
Or even fish burps.
But, and this is a big but.
Only one of the three will actually be a scientific wow.
The other two facts will be totally made up scientific what?
And it's up to you in our audience to find the fact amongst all the fiction.
Guy Razzi, are you ready?
As I'll ever be.
Then let's get this motor pickle on the road.
Wowzers, what today's wow category is.
Well, Mindy, inspired by your turtleneck experiment, our category today is... Giraffes!
Okay, Wowzers, it's all up to you now.
Which one of the following statements is an actual wow-tacular scientific fact about giraffes?
Is it...
Giraffe tongues can grow up to the length of a 12-inch ruler.
Or is it B?
Humans have the same number of vertebraes or neck bones as giraffes do.
Or is it C?
Giraffes learn how to walk within seconds of being born.
Okay, wowsers, grab your pencils and paper and write down which one you think is the real wow.
And if you're not sure, phone a friend or chat about it with your fam.
So one more time.
Is it A, giraffe tongues can grow up to the length of a ruler?
Or is it B, that humans have the same number of vertebraes or neck bones as giraffes do?
Or is it C, that giraffes learn how to walk within seconds of being born?
Got your answer locked in?

Wow on the next episode of Two Once in a While.
And before we sign off, we have a little scientific challenge for you to complete before tomorrow.
Do you have what it takes to do anything for science?
Time to put it to the test.
We want you to create the longest giraffe's neck you can with any item that you can find around the house.
You can use empty paper towel rolls or cups.
Or even cans of soup.
We want to put your engineering skills to the test.

Slash share.
So get to work, Wowsers, and be sure to check back tomorrow for the answers to today's challenge.
