dr. dolittle | December 29, 2013I just read this blog describing the very strange animal moments. Check it out!

Just look at the cute little Tinkerbella fly, a mere 250 micrometers long, that was discovered in Costa Rica:

This amusing little video should catch you up on everything that's happened with the BP oil spill so far.
If teh kittehs don't give you enough information, let's listen to what Obama has to say:

This fascinating video shows that Calvin Klein's "Obsession for Men" is NOT just for men! This is a great example of how careful observation of captive animals' behavior is directly impacting research with wild animals. When biologists at the Bronx Zoo started spritzing "Obsession for Men" cologne near heat-and-motion-sensitive cameras, the tigers, snow leopards, jaguars and cheetahs…
grrlscientist | June 7, 2010tags: Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes, cookbooks, food, humor, weird, strange, wow, books
I thought I'd read or heard of absolutely everything, but apparently, this is not the case. It turns out that the spousal unit found a cookbook that he thinks is "hilarious" .. which means that he has to share it with me, too. Being a bibliophile, I always appreciate learning about new titles on the market, but this book surely is the strangest ever!
The author (whom I do not know), Fotie Photenhauer, writes:
Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and…

This man makes a living by swallowing strange objects, like light bulbs, and then vomiting them back up. I think at least a few of these stunts are illusions -- how did he do the sugar trick, for example? -- while other stunts (the fish trick) are really just gross.
Okay, how the heck did he do the sugar trick? And the fish trick? [and tell me, what does HSUS say about this fish trick?? or are they too busy writing legislation to outlaw people's pets to…
grrlscientist | May 25, 2010tags: This Man and His Marbles Are Rarely Parted, marble racing, hobbies, passtimes, offbeat, strange, funny, people, Belgian Television News, streaming video
This Belgian Television News video documents a man whom some of you might think is very strange. I don't think he's strange, though. Of course, I am probably telling you too much about myself, but I did this, too! Like this guy, I had a collection of hundreds of marbles that I'd race for hours at a time through intricate obstacle courses that I had constructed. I not only recognized each individual marble, but yes, I named each one, too…

In an effort to make a point -- Laptops are distracting students -- University of Oklahoma physics professor Kieran Mullen freezes a student's laptop with liquid nitrogen then smashes it onto the floor. One student caught this act of laptop brutality on video:

I love Law & Order so much that this one TV show is enough to tempt me into purchasing a television (I've never owned nor possessed a TV, although I do watch TV in "my" NYC pub). But according to this curious video, the theme music from Law & Order is enough to cause dogs everywhere to howl (with delight?).
This video was compiled from a collection of "pups & order" videos. Does anyone have a dog that also howls when the opening credits for Law & Order…

This amusing video should go into the "what did we do before YouTube?" category. This video captures the CATalunia Boy's Choir singing classical music with feline vocals .. it's a 'must view' for all cat owners and cat fans!

Eyeball tattooing: it's apparently a new fad among imprisoned criminals to inject dye into the whites of the eyes. It's interesting to realize that criminals -- people who wish to blend in with the crowd so they can continue their lives of crime undetected -- would be so eager to permanently distinguish themselves in this way.
DamnCoolPics has more information about this erm, procedure:
Because the we had trouble getting the ink under the surface (and were able to "wash" it out of the small needle incisions),…

Religion might be viewed by some as the modern dancing disease. Others might view Sunday morning church services as a cheap gym or dance club.

I have a feeling that this is what Isis sees when she looks at a map. Only with sexier shoes, of course.

This odd little streaming video is part of an ad, but the actual footage of the commercial itself seems to suggest -- somewhat tongue-in-cheek -- what life might be like after fuel prices have gone so high that no one can afford to use it [0:51]
zooillogix | November 28, 2008Very cool video of a bizarre squid from the genus Magnapinna. Also known as bigfin squid, few specimens have ever been observed and only a handful ever captured. The squid in this footage has tentacles 20 feet long.
This footage was filmed in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Houston, Texas by cameras attached to deep sea oil rig.
