The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week | Popular Science

On Weirdest Thing, we take the lofty, noble pursuit of science, and we strive to make it utterly relatable, and extremely entertaining. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about dual-penised serpents, airborne Ford Pintos, chainsaws used for childbirth, or the frozen poopsicle debacle atop Mount Everest, you should definitely take a listen. And if you were even eating a delicious seafood dinner and found yourself wondering if blood-sucking vampire fish make for a tasty meal? Well, we've got you covered.
