I Could Live Forever and Never Know Everything...

Here are some interesting academic papers:

- The nature of navel fluff.
- An analysis of the forces required to drag sheep over various surfaces.
- Accidental condom inhalation.
- Pigeons can discriminate "good" and "bad" paintings by children (how would you like to be the kid whose painting wasn't even good enough for the pidgeons?)
- Optimizing the sensory characteristics and acceptance of canned cat food: use of a human taste panel.
- Effect of different types of textile fabric on spermatogenesis: an experimental study. (you need a bit more information for this one: "Twenty-four dogs were divided into two equal groups, one of which wore cotton underpants and the other polyester ones. Seven dogs wearing nothing were used as controls." Sounds like fun.)
