Science: Orgasms are good for your memory, brain. F**K SUDOKU.

Sweet.

I’m going to run with this report, even though I doubt the accuracy. The amount of procrasturbating I did in graduate school alone enough should have me with an elephantine memory. Yet I can barely remember where the fuck I put the keys. Or why when I find them, they’re in the litter box. Always the litter box.

Lab-grown HUMAN HEART TISSUE beats on its own. Say wut? ++

BEHOLD.

I don’t know enough about them there bio-technological-wizardry to fully understand this article. Thankfully, sometimes this allows me an advantage. For example: this article is really blowing away my fat headed simian synapses.

Volcanoes caused mass extinction before dinosaurs, which let those f**kers thrive.

VOLCANOES AND SHIT.

What scientists have dubbed a “fucking shit load” of volcanic eruptions are now thought to be responsible for mass extinctions prior to the dinosaurs. Not only that, but this “fucking shit load” (their words, not mine) of eruptions also opened the door for the dinosaurs to run amok. Oh, you fucking volcanoes, you.
