I know Alexis blogged this just a few weeks ago, but a study this good CANNOT pass without me wanting to read it. And when I read, I must comment! And my comment? The moral of this story: dang people are JERKS. Territorial jerks. (Source) Ruback and Jueing. “Territorial Defense in Parking Lots: Retaliation Against […]
Today is my second synchro-blogging of the week! When Laelaps showed me the video that went with this paper, and explained the concept…I was HOOKED. We had to blog it. It’s too good. It’s too GROSS. Just you wait. So we HAVE blogged it, and when you’re done reading this, go over to Laelaps and […]
Today’s Friday Weird Science comes to us courtesy of ProfLike Substance, who passed on this truly GLORIOUS paper to Sci many weeks ago. I’ve been dying to blog it for ages, but other things (like whale penises) seemed to always come up (you see what I did there) and required immediate blogging before someone else […]
Today’s post is a guest post coming at you from the fantastic Vivienne Raper, a freelance journalist who also blogs at the blog Outdoor Science! This is also why all the spellings of things appear to have extraneous “u”s. Imagine owning a swimsuit that makes you look like a tropical fish, shimmering and changing colour […]
This one comes courtesy of NCBI ROFL, who presented the abstract last week. Can’t beat their fantastic penis-shaped light fixture, either. I’d like to begin today’s Friday Weird Science with a brief story about SciMom. SciMom is a brilliant mom. She’s encouraging and supportive and smart, and also really REALLY funny. Mostly because she’s prone […]
“Hey, Drake” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhwXVDi496E&feature=player_embedded This one is a shoutout to Ed Yong and his iconic post on duck penises! I think this video came out after that, but it’s beautifully done. You can check out the rest of ISabella Rosselini’s killer green porno work here.
Yeah, you heard me right. We all have various ways of attempting to get rid of the hiccups. Drinking a glass of water backward, eating a spoonfull of sugar, getting surprised or scared, holding your breath. The list goes on. But what if those DON’T WORK? What if even medications don’t work!? Wherever shall you […]
I LOVE Isabella Rossellini. Her Green Porno series is a must-see. Especially if you like animal sexual behavior. AWESOME. And she has one that is VERY relevant to this past Friday’s Weird Science! And then I, the strongest, will MATE WITH HER!”
…aka “The Thrilling Whale Threesome” …aka “Constant Coupling Clubs in Cetacean Coitus” …aka…I could keep going! Cause this is more than mammals. It’s WHALES, BABY!!! Whales GETTING IT ON. Strap yourselves in, cause we’re headed on a journey to the bay, complete with a bendable 8 foot penis. Mate et al. (heh, poor […]
Today is Sci’s entry for this month’s CARNAL CARNIVAL. The month’s topic, as you may have guessed…is body odor. (Source) Ah, the big B.O. One of the things that people are by the most sensitive about in countries like the US. In fact, people have been busily covering any sign of their natural scent (and […]
