I was furiously downloading the photographic gorgeosity from Michael Poliza’s Flickr page, when I found this awesome photo called, um, “hard work.” Think Nat Geo crossed with Boogie Nights outtakes. SFW, but only b/c it’s Science.
Oh, and he’s got a bit of snuff too. Elton John, eat your bloody baby elephant trunk out.

You may have missed this, since it was announced on Jesus’s birthday, but apparently the Healthy Penis campaign–an effort to alert gays that getting syphilis is no mere tragic anachronism–was a resounding success.
That’s great and all, but mostly I’m just glad someone finally dug up an excuse to send a cock & syphilis sore marching […]

Ms. Orange squealed with delight at the baby dolphin, but I don’t know - to me these in vivo images of live mammal embryos are kind of creepy.
Apparently these were created for a BBC Channel 4 special that’s to air (when else?) over Christmas. (Love Actually it ain’t.)
No word yet about whether we’ll have the […]

Okay people, you’ll have to vet the factual accuracy of this one yourselves, because for once, the gory details were just too much for a muh-fuggah to deal wit’.

Besides yesterday, when we got whiners as WELL as spam, mostly in our comments section we just get… spam. But perhaps we shouldn’t always have such an itchy bulk-delete trigger finger. Sometimes there are diamonds in that roughage. Like, oh, THIS.
I’m almost tempted to plunk down my hard-earned rubles simply for the name alone, […]

So this MIT-educated architect based in China took a biology class once and is now designing a six-story building shaped like, you guessed it, a cell. Yeah, a real membranous human cell, not like the drunk tank where I crash from time to time. What’s more, the structure will be home to the Institute for […]
