Episode 050: Jesse Thorn & Kelly Hu

==Description==
It’s the 50th episode of Go Fact Yourself! And we’ve got a t-shirt! 
To help us celebrate, we’ve brought on Maximum Fun founder, Jesse Thorn. These days, MaxFun is known for dozens of quality podcasts. But in Jesse’s early days, he recorded the talk show that would become “Bullseye” in his apartment. The humble beginnings helped him learn a lot about interviewing great guests… and about the value of a good suit. In addition to “Bullseye,” you can hear Jesse on the podcasts “Jordan Jesse Go!” and “Judge John Hodgman.”
Jesse’s opponent for this momentous episode is actor Kelly Hu. She’s best known for appearances in tons of hit movies, including her role as Lady Deathstrike in X2: X-Men United. But even though audiences love her work, she’ll explain why she can’t stand to watch herself in any film or show she’s ever been a part of. Plus: a look into her desire to be a pageant winner without having a talent to showcase.
Our guests will answer questions about baseball, cadavers and what can be mixed into chocolate.

===What's the Difference?===
Murder! 
====Coroner vs Medical Examiner ====
*from Leora Saul of Los Angles, CA
A coroner is an elected position which often requires no official medical education. It is considered a judicial position even though it usually doesn't require a law degree either. 
A medical examiner is an appointed position and almost always requires the person holding the position to have an M.D. after their name, and usually further specialties in pathology or forensics. 
====Knife vs Dagger ====
A knife usually only has one sharpened cutting edge. The other side of the blade is called the spine and is not sharpened so you can safely apply pressure to the back without cutting yourself. A knife is primarily used as a tool. 
A dagger has a sharpened cutting edge on both sides and is primarily used as a weapon.
