What's in your fridge? (Thanks, Aaron!)
Researchers have grown replacement penis tissue for rabbits from the animals' own cells. The erectile tissue was then implanted and the rabbits apparently went on to screw like rabbits, successfully reproducing. According to the scientists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, this was t... More.
A new study on "partner abandonment" has found that a woman is six times more likely to be separated or divorced soon after a diagnosis of cancer or multiple sclerosis than if a man in the relationship is the patient. Link... More.

Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature. The Form 2 takes a two-pronged approach to the vibrator, giving its user what they're calling "Sensation in Stereo.... More.
Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

when I had to turn in urine samples for a short time, the place where I did it had a fridge full of little pee pee cups
I fell off a ladder on Monday and went to the doctor yesterday. Now my fridge is full of medicine that I have to take the whole damn day. Dammit!
How can you tell when the stuff in your fridge goes bad?
At least he has an excuse for how his refrigerator smells. I'm just a bad housekeeper.

This immediately made me think of the bit in Mark Leyner's novel Et Tu Babe where they get their hands on (and huff) a preserved bottle of Abraham Lincoln's morning breath.
My father is an ENT surgeon, and on the floor where his office is, there is a refrigerator full of human heads.
There's barely room for the baking soda! And if ever there were a fridge that needed a box of baking soda, this be it.
@8 - heh, yeah. or the bob hope stool sample mind caper in salton sea.
Oh, awesome, lab fridges. Well, our lab *fridge* isn't that interesting, but the freezers are full of bits of dead horse. Legs and tails mostly - for the people doing research on articular cartilage and intervertebral discs, respectively.
A freezer where I work "contains over 22,000 samples of plant genomic DNA, all stored at -80°C".
Another (actually two walk-in freezers in a reinforced bunker/vault) has seeds from over 10% of the world's wild plant species (over 1.6 billion seeds as of April).
I have actually met Dr. Preti whose friend's call him "Sweaty Preti" not because he is personally sweaty but because of research interest in body odors. He's an exceptionally smart and interesting dude. He also studies ways to reduce the odors produced by pig farming. Let's just be glad he doesn't have a fridge full of swine poo. On second thought he just might have a fridge full of swine poo.
