As a service to those few who might happen to read this blog, I'm going to start posting links to science (or technology) related articles that are amusing, whimsical, or just plain weird. I doubt any of these are Ig Nobel worthy, but they should be entertaining nonetheless. If nothing else, these articles demonstrate that what I do professionally (science) need not be boring, even to those not in the trade.
So, continuing with today's Valentine's theme:
- Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder -- Just what all those drunk frat boys need: a FORMULA!
- Frog love song: complex calls attract females, predators and parasites alike -- Be careful wooing your significant other on Wednesday, lest you face the horrors of "frog-eating bats and blood-sucking flies"
- Cuddling penguins lower body temperature -- Because the world has always needed to understand the thermodynamics of penguin cuddling
- Why good sex is no rat race -- Turns out pacing is everything...
- Male-killing bacteria makes female butterflies more promiscuous -- ...except, apparently, for certain species of tropical butterflies.
- Influence of the menstrual cycle on the female brain -- Finally, making progress towards explaining that "time of the month".
That's all for now; stay tuned for more tomorrow.
