Love the new layout. I've been using it over on the old io9 for ages now. One complaint: stop trying to make 'recommended' happen. We all want blog view as default. I know its easy to switch, but 'recommended' is just click baiting for the n00bs of the Internets. You're better than that.

No. NO. NO. Shut down this research now. What if Todd Akin gets a hold of it?? Think about all the ducks that will be denied duck abortions (egg-ectomies, if you'd like) because in the duck world, duck ladies have "ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

I'll just leave this here: Korsakoff's syndrome.

I love the use of the word coed. I think the last time that word was used was in 1986 by Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School.

As someone who has been lent money by friends, and recently considered purchasing rings for the ladies (really only one), I say that the top questioner has all the right to complain about it. Sorry, I actually put off an engagement and buying other things I "wanted," until I paid my friends (yes multiple) back. You…

That's a great greeting cards for your STD partners (lets call them that from now on): "Crabs are temporary; warts are forever. At least you don't have warts!"

It will make that strain or "species" go extinct. But then again, since virus aren't really considered "alive" can they go extinct?? These are the pressing questions that we need answers too!

Bad headlines, be bad.

Yes, but an increase in waxing has caused a decrease in crabs. SO, crabs or warts. YOU DECIDE. Plus, I bet we could make crabs go extinct pretty fast if we all waxed. All of us in the world that is. Won't it be great if humanity got together and made an STD go extinct? Not cured. Not treated. But extinct. (or we got…

It's quite possible that she IS addicted to it. Not everyone gets a runners high (around 25% do, if I remember correctly). Your friend is probably in that category. I am for sure (but I only get it when I work out really hard, a casual jog does nothing, but after around 6 miles of hard running, it is awesome). So, if…

I mean it's kinda complicated. It actually really only works if the whole gene pool waits to reproduce for several generations (which could/maybe be happening in some human populations). So, after a few generations: shitting-aging F1s (lots of mutations) and good-aging F1s (few mutations), produce mostly good-aging…

The coolest thing about prolonging pregnancy until later in life is that over several generations you actually increase the lifespan of the species. This was first shown in nematode experiments, then fruit flies and other quick reproducing species. Even now research suggests that older fathers produce kids that live…

To anyway one reading while at the gym: you're doing it wrong.

The suicidal bear is always my first stop on any zoo tour!

Million to one shot Doc! Million to one!

For my money, the best scientific explanation for Santa Claus was offered by Qwantz this year: "[His] sled allows for selective logical addition of quantum realties. Put simply: elements of alternative timelines can be merged into our own." Is there anything quantum mechanics can't simultaneously solve and NOT solve??…

Just update and iTunes lost every song in my library?? Anyone else having this trouble? I still have all the songs in the iTunes folder.

Those are balls ... This close, they always look like landscape.

Too late for the TURKEY!!! (they mean).

No Newton!! HOW will I recreate this scene during my bathtub play time?!?!
