I was delighted! Hooray for me, I thought. TODAY, however, their comments tell a very different story, indeed. One of gross puritanical bullshit. My post was un-nominated. Most likely because I’m on the cutting edge of science writing, producing a product that is nothing short of gonzo science journalism. As you know, I’m no stranger to not winning anything because I make real people hate the shit out of me and so I’d normally dismiss this outright, but the assholes that read 3quarks are the ones that drive BMWs, drink Starbucks out of their own cups and sit ...

Not with headlines like these… MSNBC led with a new study reporting how Stinky farts may help regulate blood pressure. Seems that a smelly rotten-egg gas (scientific name - hydrogen sulfide) in farts controls blood pressure, at least in mice. This gas, made natural in cells lining the mice’s blood vessels, apparently relaxes the blood vessels which, in turn, helps prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). Wow, wonder if this will open up a whole new avenue of treatments for hypertension based on ’stinky farts”? Meanwhile, the Telegraph wrote about how Drinking too much coffee ‘could shrink women’s breasts’,  based on a recent Swedish study which focused on the caffeine consumption and breast size of 300 women. After rec...

Some mistakes might be harmless, such as dropping a sock on the way to the laundry. Other mistakes could be more serious. Driving a long distance requires your constant vigilance and attention, but make one mistake and it could be deadly. What if there was a way to predict our making a mistake in such a task, before the mistake was made? In our driving example, such a method would perhaps result in lives saved. When people blunder after performing the same task over and over, scientists had suspected that such lapses were due to momentary hiccups in concentration. Still, little was known about what the brain was actually doing before such errors. To in...

But when I read what one of my favorite health blogs, The Body Odd at msnbc.com had to say about breaking wind, even a prude like me began to appreciate the finer points of flatulence. So, in the spirit of noisy bum-rumblings, I present to you some Fart Fun Facts. Enjoy! From The Body Odd: • On average, a fart is composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen. Less than 1 percent of their makeup is what makes farts stink. 
 • The temperature of a fart at time of creation is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. 
 • Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per se...
