==Description==
Grab your favorite science-fiction novel and settle into your 1400’s English outfit for this episode of Go Fact Yourself!
Sara Schaefer is an accomplished comedian and writer. She won an Emmy for her time as a blogger on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” And yes, you can win an Emmy for blogging! But that was not her first Emmy nomination, that came during her time as a writer for a show that might help her out today: “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” Sara’s new comedy album “LIVE LAUGH LOVE” is available now.
Sara’s opponent is Kurt Braunohler! He’s the host of the Los Angeles comedy show “Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen”. These days, he’s got a pretty great professional life, but that wasn’t always the case. He’ll recount some of the roughest parts of his career, including when he performed an hour of stand-up to an audience of three people. You can see Kurt in the Showtime series “Black Monday”
As our guest’s trivia prowess is pushed the limit, we’ll learn more about the postal service, barnyard animals and the two Coreys.

===What's the Difference?===
Mail/Male
====Certified Mail vs Registered Mail ====
According to US Post Office Inspector General, certified mail is mail that the recipient must sign for. USPS keeps a copy of the recipient's signature on file as proof of delivery for 2 years from the date of mailing. Registered mail is shipped under greater security. When not on transit, registered mail must be stored in locked safe, cage, or room separated from other mail. Every step of the delivery chain is documented, its designed for sending documents, valuable items, and is more expensive. 
====Bull vs Ox====
A bull is a male member of the bovine taxonomic family (aka cattle), its the same as a cow but its male. An ox is simply a bull that has been castrated.
