Not only are these things you shouldn’t do for kicks, but things that you should NEVER EVER have your friends do to you at a bachelor party. Those people are not your friends. You’d think that, no matter how drunk you were, you wouldn’t agree when someone said “Hey, let’s see if we can fit […]
Every once in a while, when I look at the lit, I’m truly amazed by the things people report in. This one didn’t even need any playing with the title. It’s just too good. Rose, et al. “The bra-strap injury: should men have lessons?” British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2001. This post shall otherwise be […]
I’m an unabashed Bond fan. I have adorable memories of me and my brother, temporarily in harmony, watching “15 days of 007”. The only other time you got us together in front of the TV like that was “Shark Week”. I personally love the Sean Connery Bond, but I also have warmed to the Daniel […]
So this isn’t necessarily weird science, in that it’s not something so odd and out there you’d never see it. It’s more that the reason behind the phenomenon is a little funny. I’m at a time of life where all my friends are getting married. And once they get married, they start spawning. I’m a […]
So I was GOING to do a post on Fournier’s gangrene, but considering the way it completely grossed out everyone I showed it to, perhaps it’s not such a good idea. I’d hate for you all to run screaming. So we’re not doing it. If you’re REALLY curious, you can look it up, but I […]
UGH. First off my apologies for the weird scheduling. I have no idea why it posted itself four days ago. And I have to start this with a personal porn anecdote. You KNOW you wanna hear it. Woodard et al. “What kind of erotic film clips should we use in female sex research? An exploratory […]
This is technically history as well as science. Even though it was published in 1978, it actually refers to the cannibalistic practices of the Aztecs, whose empire was taken over by Cortes in 1521 when the Spanish conquistadores first came to the New World. If you’ve never heard of the Aztecs (who referred to themselves […]
A somewhat late Friday Weird Science, but I want to point out that Sci was not up at 4am shopping with all the crazies. I don’t DO that sort of thing. Online is so much better. So here I was, rolling myself around the house after a particularly delicious Thanksgiving dinner, and contemplating what offering […]
This SHOULD be the time when I’m working crazy hard on InAdWriMo, trying to get those paper drafts up and running (ideally they should be ready on MONDAY). Perhaps I should have been doing that rather than writing a 3,000 word post on posters (Really! Count!). So it goes. But here I am, and instead […]
I actually had another piece in mind for this Friday’s Weird Science, but a friend of mine sent me a link to this paper, and I HAD to do it. It’s not just weird, it’s awesome! Long, Fee. “Using temperature to analytze temporal dynamics in the songbird motor pathway.” Nature, 2008. I will start this […]
