Some links that I've had open in my browser tabs for too long already.

Science & psychology links:
Junkfood Science: It’s better to die of HIV than be fat?, from [livejournal.com profile] epi_lj (I think). Warning: It's a review of some seriously BAD SCIENCE, pointing out how asshatted it is. Do not read without a mouth guard if you're inclined to grind your teeth, or without a pillow to cushion your head as you bang it against the wall.

The Observer: Meet Tyran and Leanne - they learnt of love and sex in a school for the disabled. A pioneering policy is breaking an old taboo by encouraging disabled teenagers to form sexual relationships, with help from carers if necessary. From [livejournal.com profile] earwigmc. Interesting and moving.

ScienceNOW: Something in the Way She Moves? from [livejournal.com profile] geminigirl. Researchers have found that lap dancers earn more when they are in the fertile phase of their menstrual cycle. Now the question is why?

YouTube: The colour-changing card trick!, from Brynne at More Awesome Than You. Requires sound for the full experience. The psychology of this is fascinating.

Silly link:
Amoral Sciences Club: Great Beards in Philosophy, from [livejournal.com profile] rowan_leigh on irc. Hahaha!
