TED-Talk about gay Duck Necrophilia
Kein Aprilscherz, passt aber wunderbar: Kees Moeliker erklärt auf der TED-Konferenz den Dead Duck Day, den sie seit dem ersten Todestag 1996 zum Gedenken einer Ente feiern, die das erste dokumentierte Opfer schwuler Enten-Nekrophilie wurde. Darüber hat Moeliker dann eine Arbeit geschrieben und den Ig-Nobelpreis gewonnen. Der Talk hat wirklich alles, von Frosch-Goldfisch-Facefuck bis Kröten-Nekrophilie in Missionarsstellung. Hilarious!
On 5 June 1995 an adult male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) collided with the glass façade of the Natuurhistorisch Museum Rotterdam and died. An other drake mallard ‘raped’ the corpse almost continuously for 75 minutes. Then the author disturbed the scene and secured the dead duck. Dissection showed that the rape-victim indeed was of the male sex. It is concluded that the mallards were engaged in an ‘Attempted Rape Flight’ that resulted in the first described case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard.

Drunk Dude buys stolen Python that nearly ate his friend
Das kommt davon, wenn man betrunken Riesenpythons kauft:
A boozy dad bought a 15ft PYTHON from a gypsy before taking it home where it tried to EAT his friend “in a scene from a Guy Ritchie film,” a court heard.
Hungover Dwayne Matthews, 29, awoke the morning after a heavy drinking session to find the huge snake “rearing up with it’s jaws open” ready to pounce on his pal who was asleep on the sofa. Matthews had bought the 14kg beast, called Bruce, the night before from a traveller with the intention of selling it on to fund his new guttering business.

Two-Headed Shark
Im Golf von Mexiko hat man einen zweiköpfigen Hai gefunden.
Scientists have confirmed the discovery of the first-ever, two-headed bull shark.
The study, led by Michigan State University and appearing in the Journal of Fish Biology, confirmed the specimen, found in the Gulf of Mexico April 7, 2011, was a single shark with two heads, rather than conjoined twins.
Hat natürlich nichts mit dem Meisterwerk 2 Headed Shark Attack mit Carmen Electra und Hulk Hogans Tochter von The Asylum zu tun:
Bomb in a Squid
In China hat man eine Bombe in einem Tintenfisch gefunden. Das ist die Rache für Calamari, die Verspeisung lebender Kopffüßler und Paul the psychic Octopus.
The squid, which was itself more than three feet-long, was caught in the shallow waters off Guangdong province, China, and taken to the fish market in Jiaoling county. […] “Perhaps he thought the bomb was his favourite food and gulped it down. He certainly had a big belly when he was caught,” he added.
The bomb weighed around three pounds and was shaped like an aubergine. Local police suggested it might have been dropped by a fighter jet but did not date it. Mr Huang said the police had arrived promptly after he called an emergency number and that they had taken it away and performed a controlled explosion.

Kill Bill Parasite Wasp named Beatrix Kiddo
In Thailand hat man eine neue Art einer parasitären Wespenfamilie gefunden und hat sie nach Beatrix Kiddo aus Quentin Tarantinos „Kill Bill“ benannt. Originalzitat aus dem Film: „You’re not a worker bee. You’re a renegade killer bee.“ Passt nicht so ganz, aber fast.
Parasitoid wasps of the family Braconidae are known for their deadly reproductive habits. Most of the representatives of this group have their eggs developing in other insects and their larvae, eventually killing the respective host, or in some cases immobilizing it or causing its sterility. Three new species of the parasitoid wasp genus Cystomastacoides, recently described in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research, reflect this fatal behavior.
Two of the new species were discovered in Papua New Guinea, while the third one comes from Thailand. The Thai species, Cystomastacoides kiddo, was named after the character Beatrix Kiddo in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ films. The deadly biology of the wasp inspired this reference to the protagonist played by Uma Thurman, where she embodies a deadly assassin and a master of the Tiger/Crane style of kung fu. She is a master of the “Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique”, a method of killing a person by quickly striking five pressure points around the heart with the fingertips. After the victim takes five steps, the heart explodes and the person falls dead.

PETA protests Violence against the Swarm: Zerglings have feelings, too!
PETA wird zum Launch-Event von Star Craft II: Heart of the Swarm in Californien Flyer verteilen, die gegen Gewalt gegen die Zerg protestieren sollen. Wenn man bedenkt, dass PETA auch gegen Walfang in Assassins Creed protestierte, könnte man fast danken, die meinen das ernst. Aber so: Well played.
StarCraft players gearing up for the launch of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will be getting a new perspective on the game’s arthropodal extraterrestrials, the Zerg.
PETA—or, as we are renaming ourselves in honor of the expansion pack’s launch, “Terrans for the Ethical Treatment of Zerglings”—will attend tonight’s launch event in Irvine, California, and distribute copies of our new “Zerglings Have Feelings, Too” leaflets as a reminder that gamers and nongamers alike should have compassion for all beings—even those who are very different from us.

Iran battles Mutant Rats with Snipers
Im Iran schicken sie jetzt Sniperteams mit Nachtsichtgeräten auf die Jagd nach genetisch mutierten Monsterratten. Die Viecher werden dort angeblich jetzt größer als die Katzen und wiegen fünf Kilo.
Tehran, the capital of Iran, is battling an invasion of “genetically mutated” giant rats. Iran has sent in sniper teams to clear Tehran’s streets from the massive rodents weighting up to five kilos plaguing 26 district of the Iranian capital, the city’s environmental agency said.
“They seem to have had a genetic mutation, probably as a result of radiations and the chemical used on them,” Ismail Kahram, Teheran city council environment adviser and university professor Ismail Kahram told Qudsonline.ir. […] The “mutated rats” have been running rampant in the capital, as cats are scared off by their giant size and traditional poison appear to have no effect on them.
