The Most Atrocious Scenes from the Mork and Mindy Porn Movie

A XXX-rated porn parody based on Mork and Mindy might sound like a terrible, awful idea — and then you see the finished product and realize that it’s much worse than you ever contemplated. Don’t worry, the above clip and the one below are both work-safe — apart from some bad language. Mork and Mindy:…

Eureka begins its final season with a bang

Eureka returned last night with the first of its final fourteen episodes, seeking to resolving the big cliffhanger of what happened to the spaceship Astraeus at the end of last season.

People with tattoos drink more alcohol than their friends, say researchers

Although tattoos and body piercings have gone mainstream, they still carry a connotation of risky behavior. And a new study suggests this stereotype is borne out in the drinking habits of those who modify their bodies: they drink more alcohol than their friends with undecorated skins. For four Saturday nights, ninety-nine undergraduate business students in…

A flower that smells like poop and resembles vagina dentata

The rotten-meat-scented corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) may get all of the mainstream press, what with its flashy blooming parties that attract admirers from all across the globe. But on the botanical weirdness scale, it’s easily trumped by Hydnora africana, a parasitic flower found in southern Africa. https://gizmodo.com/the-most-disgusting-flower-in-the-world-is-about-to-blo-5795114 The Hydnora’s spherical flower grows on the roots…

We’ve got a ton of eye-popping stills from The Avengers, which show off this movie’s sexy side. Seriously, this might be the prettiest Marvel movie of them all — and it didn’t even need a bunch of sepia toned shirtless WW2 soldiers to pull it off. Just shit-loads of explosions and ladies in latex!

If science is broken, how do we fix it?

An unsettling pattern has emerged in the world of peer-reviewed, scientific publishing. In the last decade, the rate at which articles are retracted (meaning the study was published, only to later be dubbed unfit for print — typically due to either deliberate misconduct or an honest scientific mistake) has increased in some journals by as…

The Cure for Drug Abuse? Changing People’s Memories

Even after drug users kick the habit, there’s still the risk of relapse. And a big reason for this is fact that the person can still remember the pleasurable side of drug use. The solution might be to actually change the nature of those memories. Top image: Shutterstock.com That’s the idea behind new research coming…

The Avengers DVD will include “at least” 30 minutes of deleted scenes

You might have heard that Joss Whedon’s original version of The Avengers was very different from what we’ll see in theaters — in particular, Whedon originally hit on Captain America as the viewpoint character. We would have seen a lot of Cap’s journey as he adjusts to life in the present day, and that would…

This microbe could become the “off” switch for biological machines

In the Victorian era people marveled at what could be done by mixing and matching mechanical parts like the wheel, the magnet, the lever, and the piston. Today we mix and match biological parts like the gene, the enzyme, and the organ. Take a look at a new biological part that gives a microbe an…

What if Lars von Trier directed a Donald Duck movie?

As a completely depraved thought experiment, the Icelandic comedy troupe Mid-Island forced Disney’s cantankerous, pants-less mallard to conform to the gritty, hyper-spartan “Dogme 95” style pioneered by Danish directors like Lars von Trier. Although Mid-Island doesn’t stick to the no-frills Dogme 95 rulebook entirely, disturbing scenes of Gladstone Gander and Daisy Duck getting frisky and…
