This week we pit the modern metrosexual against ancient cave men to decide the ultimate winner in the battle for manliness. Along the way we discover one-legged Aboriginal hopping hunters, oiled up casanovas, and the Yakuza’s jingle bells.

Our Plus+ extension then features terrifying experiments with chemical warfare in WWI and German spies that went to extreme cross-dressing lengths to conceal their weapons of mass destruction.
