POPSSeven of the Unusually Oddest Websites on the Net There's lots of crazy stuff on the Internet, and everyone has their own idea of what is weird, strange, or just plain eccentric. These seven websites are all odd, and you may not understand exactly what the point is, but they can crack you up. And then again, some of the sites here are just plain weird. You be the judge...

POPS20 Things You Didn't Know About Sex
6 Barbary macaques have a distinctive way to get their mates to make a sperm donation: yelling. If the female does not shout, the male almost never climaxes. 7 How do we know this? German primatologist Dana Pfefferle watched a group of macaques, counting the females’ yells and the males’ pelvic thrusts. She says this work is “quite weird, but it’s science.” 8 Here in the US of A, that kind of stuff ends up on YouTube. 9 Because Barry White sounds terrible underwater: Fish can produce a variety of noises with their bones, teeth, and gas bladders. Grant Gilmore of Estuarine Coastal and Ocean Science Inc. says that male fish probably use some of these sounds to woo females. 10 The spiny anteater, an egg-laying mammal native to Australia and New Guinea, has a penis with four heads, but only two fit into the female at once. 11 The tiny male paper nautilus, an octopus, impregnates the much larger female by shooting his penis (a modified tentacle) into her—and leaving it there.

POPSCan We See Into the Future? Fact or myth? I find this stuff fascinating. When I checked out the display at Princeton, it was beeping and gonging like crazy. I wonder if that's a bad sign? :eek: http://noosphere.princeton.edu/bsktobsrv/nishith/basketobserver.html

POPSPowder turns bathwater into thick slime Ever since watching "double dare" as a kid I've wondered what it would be like to jump into a vat of slime. Now for $10 I can have tubs of the stuff! Come to think of it, I guess that'd be a bit weird, huh?

POPSLazy Idiot Grounhog sleeps in!
This was the easiest job I ever had. One day a year—one day—where all I have to do is look in the direction of my shadow, and I fuck it up. Way to go, Phil, way to go! Another one of your classic moves. Five measly minutes of work and I could've gone back to bed until April, but no. No, that would've been too easy for Mister Fucking Punxsatawney National Icon With His Own Holiday Phil. The elders of the Punxsatawney Circle are going to be so freaking pissed. They're nice and everything but they take this tourism stuff crazy seriously, and they'll never stand for this bullshit. I'll never be able to show my face around Gobbler's Knob again. Damn! I'm such an idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! Phil? Phil, you need to think of something quick. So relax. Uh, just try and breathe. Okay, what are you supposed to do? Inhale and exhale. In, out. You know what? I just need to calmly make a list of the things I need to do. Then I will do each of the things on the list. As I do each item I will

POPSPhyllis Schlafly: English Dept. to blame for Virginia Tech massacre Phyllis Schlafly does one of those scans through the English department website at Virginia Tech, lists the weirdest stuff she can find, and then asks why we permit this kind of newfangled nonsense to be taught in our schools. Pretty standard stuff, but especially poisonous in the wake of the shootings, which, incredibly, she seems to want to blame on the professors and the readings.

POPSCan Geo=Engineering Save the Planet? Seems a bit weird that the human race is talking about plant life in the future as a way of mopping up C)2 while we are destroying the Amazon and Congo rainforests to produce coffe tables and hamburgers.
