He holds a BS and MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. If a volcano were to erupt Pompei-style in Central Park, his body would be preserved in a scoliotic posture over his lab desk. Archeaologists would later conclude that he spent most of his day training rats to perform tricks, until he went blind building electrical equipment by hand using a dissecting microscope. But, still, he died happy...because science is cool.

Panda Porn

Category: AminalsSex
Posted on: March 28, 2007 9:20 AM, by NotoriousLTP

This is not just videos of hairy, fat people having sex. This is actual panda porn we are talking about:

Chuang Chuang the panda has been spending his days in front of a big-screen television watching panda porn.

Authorities at the Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand hope the images will encourage him to mate with his partner, Lin Hui, and serve as an instructional lesson in how to do it right.

So far, it's been a tough sell, the zoo's chief veterinarian, Kanika Limtrakul, said Tuesday.

"Chuang Chuang seems indifferent to the videos; he has no reaction to what he's seeing on TV," Kanika said. "But we're continuing to show him videos and hoping they will leave an impression."

Not the oddest or the wrongest pornography to come out of Thailand by any stretch of the imagination but certainly the most interesting.

Come on Chuang Chuang. Get a move on. I want cute baby pandas, and you are slacking off.

I guess there is also the possibility of zoo patrons being treated to the spectacle of a panda spanking the monkey.

Based on the picture they haven't considered the difference in color vision between humans and pandas. Color TV will look really weird to all animals but the apes. It may not only be panda porn, but psychedelic panda porn.
