20 Bizarre Science Experiments
Bizarre and more than a little gruesome.

You may have heard of the famous Milgram Obedience Experiment, which showed that Americans are just as likely as Germans to commit atrocities based on dubious authority figures telling them to.

Did you know a followup was done with cute, fluffy puppies and live voltage?

How about the experiments involving grafting one dog's head to another dog, that helped lead to the successful development of the life support machines used during heart/lung transplants?

Fascinating stuff.

You might not want to read it before a meal though.

Or immediately afterward.

Kirby + Snoop Dogg == K-Dogg?

Bad Language
Warren Ellis was right, the English troops did curse a lot.

Also, you too kids can earn lasting fame by swearing!

Devil Feet
One of those great oddball historical moments, this time where a mysteeeeeeerious set of foot prints was blamed on Satan. Or a kangaroo. Or a weather balloon.

Guitar Heroes
So it seems that Aerosmith is making a band-specific Guitar Hero game.

I'm not sure what this means exactly, though it's good for Aerosmith fans, I suppose. Guitar Hero is the series that tends to use cover bands whereas Rock Band uses the original artists, so it's a switch. Of course, Aerosmith tried to make a videogame before... and the world still suffers.
