2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo tonight's question: is it ever okay to take something from the office on your way out?

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNever, and I say that as a man who has taken eleven staplers.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEleven staplers?

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThey were jamming. It was a rescue.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI say yes, if it's small. I left my last job with a fern, and that fern is thriving, so who was really harmed?

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThough I did say earlier that a company that scraped the internet is upset about one guy and one email account, and I stand by it.

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo you're on Team Fern now, Nina? You just flipped over a houseplant.

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI'm on the side of the evidence, which in your case is eleven staplers and a confession.

14. 

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHands up if it's ever okay. Vera yes, Dale no, and I'm abstaining because, fine, I kept a stapler too.

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGive it back.
