The Top 10 Craziest Science Stuff you didn't know

You can Hypnotize Chickens

A chicken can be hypnotized, or put into a trance by holding its head down against the ground, and continuously drawing a line along the ground with a stick or a finger, starting at its beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken.
If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will remain immobile for somewhere between 15 seconds to 30 minutes, continuing to stare at the line.

You can have an erection once dead

A death erection (sometimes referred to as "angel lust") is a post-mortem erection which occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-down – the cadaver remaining in this position. During life, the pumping of blood by the heart ensures a relatively even distribution around the blood vessels of the human body. Once this mechanism has ended, only the force of gravity acts upon the blood. As with any mass, the blood settles at the lowest point of the body and causes edema or swelling to occur; the discoloration caused by this is called lividity. Sorry, no photo for this one!

Your hand can have a life of it's own

Alien hand syndrome (or Dr. Strangelove syndrome) is an unusual neurological disorder in which one of the sufferer's hands seems to take on a life of its own.
AHS is best documented in cases where a person has had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated, a procedure sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of epilepsy. It also occurs in some cases after other brain surgery, strokes, or infections. The HAND is after you!

Don't laugh too much, it can kill you

Fatal hilarity is death as a result of laughter. In the third century B.C. the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after seeing a donkey eating figs (hey, it wasn't THAT funny).
On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, England, literally died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a psychopathic black pudding in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of "Hoots-Toot-ochaye". After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant.

A weapon could make you Gay

Gay bomb is an informal name for a potential non-lethal chemical weapon, which a U.S. Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.
In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behaviour". So that's how they got Saddam!

It's true, Men can breastfeed

The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate a human male's mammary glands.
Male lactation is most commonly caused by hormonal treatments given to men suffering from prostate cancer. It is also possible for males (and females) to induce lactation through constant massage and simulated 'sucking' of the nipple over a long period of time (months).

Bart Simpson's Tomacco (half tomato, half tobacco) was possible

A tomacco is originally a fictional hybrid fruit that is half tomato and half tobacco, from the 1999 episode "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)" of The Simpsons; the method used to create the tomacco in the episode is fictional.
The tomacco became real when it was allegedly produced in 2003. Inspired by The Simpsons, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon successfully grafted a tomato plant onto the roots of a tobacco plant, which was possible because both plants come from the same family.

It's OK to have a third nipple

A supernumerary nipple (also known as a third nipple) is an additional nipple occurring in mammals including humans. Often mistaken for moles, supernumerary nipples are diagnosed at a rate of 2% in females, less in males. The nipples appear along the two vertical "milk lines" which start in the armpit on each side, run down through the typical nipples and end at the groin. They are classified into eight levels of completeness from a simple patch of hair to a milk-bearing breast in miniature.

You can die on the Toilet

There are many toilet-related injuries and some toilet-related deaths throughout history and in urban legends.
In young boys, one of the most common causes of genital injury is when the toilet seat falls down while using the toilet.

George II of Great Britain died on the toilet on 25 October 1760 from an aortic dissection. According to Horace Walpole's memoirs, King George "rose as usual at six, and drank his chocolate; for all his actions were invariably methodic. A quarter after seven he went into a little closet. His German valet de chambre in waiting heard a noise, and running in, found the King dead on the floor."

Picking one's nose and eating it might be healthy

Mucophagy (literally mucus-eating, also referred as picking one's nose and eating it) is the consumption of the nasal mucus, boogers, and other detritus obtained from nose-picking.
Some research suggests that mucophagy may be a natural and even healthy activity, which exposes the digestive system to bacteria accumulated in the mucus, thereby helping to strengthen the immune system.

Can i hypnotize a chicken to speak like a human when the door bell rings?

[mfgbypooter]

I always wondered if it were possible to smoke some tomacco, and then die laughing while eating boogers and taking a shit with a hypnotized chicken, your hand living it's own life while being gay bombed, and falling forward on your lactating third nipple, only to sprout a humongous dead erection.

I wouldnt hold your breath on that one.

[Excrement_Cranium]

Wow... um... eating boogers is healthy now, eh?


I suppose it makes sense, but I find I need a little pepper to go with the bogies.

You can Hypnotize Chickens

A chicken can be hypnotized, or put into a trance by holding its head down against the ground, and continuously drawing a line along the ground with a stick or a finger, starting at its beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken.
If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will remain immobile for somewhere between 15 seconds to 30 minutes, continuing to stare at the line.

Actually I did know this one but I do live in Tennessee. The method I was taught was a bit different but very simple. One thing to remember, chickens are very god damn stupid. I did not need to hold its head down nor have I ever seen that done. All you need do is get right in front of the dinner with two legs (this is the hardest part) and point right between its eyes and move your finger forward till it notices then pull away from it. The chicken dinner will freeze in its tracks and just look onward. After a bit it will snap out of it but its pretty funny.

I made a pet chicken with this method when I was young. My grandmother kept lots of them around but this one turned out to be cool except he tended to peck at people like they were a big piece of corn or something. One day I came to visit my grandmother and couldnt find him anywhere. I went inside the house and asked her where he was and she said "we ate him" as if this wasn't a horrible thing to say to a child. I guess to her, it wasn't, but to me is was a deep source mental scars. They ate my buddy man! I quickly learned to not befriend the animals there. I almost turned into a god damned vegetarian because of that. How fucked up is that shit? To this day I have a problem with people killing animals, but now its only if they do not respect the life they take. Killing for the joy of it is a selfish crime against nature. Killing to feed ones family is something that is necessary but you should thank the dead animal, as you eat its flesh off its bones, for feeding your family with its life.


Sorry for this half ass rant. This just brough back a memory I had locked away

aortic dissection

Ugghhh, I hate those words. Its sounds so horrific and it is cetainly. It didn't really give any examples of why you can die on the toilet as opposed to dieing anywhere else.

Some of that other stuff I sorta knew too.

Ever notice how when a phone rings, a human acts like a chicken, raises his or her head and does a chicken run to the phone, and answers the call. I am trying to break people of this annoying habit, when it interrupts work patterns.

The need or desire to answer the phone over working and letting technology screen the incoming chicken squawks, er voices, is more important than the work that needs to be finished before answering the phone.

I would like to start a company to break people of this annoying habit, also to break people of the annoying habit of not being present in the physical space or room when talking on a cell phone.

It is becoming a very big problem.

The same reason young children are compelled to eat dirt.

There is some alarm that we are creating a generation of bucket babies and children that do not have the bugs in them that they need to prevent uclers and other ailments as they age.

[Excrement_Cranium]

Meh... maybe.

Pica is a strange bird on it's own. Despite the wikipedia claim that there "isn't enough research," pica is a known symptom of malnutrition.


Then again, most cravings are a signal to ingest things which the body associates with needed substances.
