Isn't there a monster like this on Starship Trooper?

Aleki: I can understand the moral dilemma of using DDT, despite its environmental impact, in order to save human lives from malaria.

greenfrog: engrossing (at the same time, gross) article and photos about the Buruli ulcer. Most appreciated - thanks!

Azuara: you should contact mental_floss directly at their blog.

You mean like this, Chad?

Thanks Lilly!

The irony is the kid will probably prefer to play with the box that the gold rocking horse comes with.

Apparently, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be too, Aleki - totally missed the typo! And I read it over too!

Good catch Chris.

Probably, jimmy b. Many chilis kind of look the same: they start out green, then turn orange and then red as they mature. The red pic in wikipedia looks like dried chili to me.

And lime green is not a good color for a car, not even a Lamborghini can pull that off... It's probably only good for a scooter. I betcha a lime green scooter would look nicer.

Mutants, all of you!

The 1987 Sylvester Stallone movie, al?

H - so, it was copying noise that got him caught, huh?

Darran - thanks for telling us about the N-rays!

Medievalist - seems like 8 out of the 10 are out and out hoaxes, 2 are controversial :)

Dan - I'm not pushing any agenda (religious or not); that's not what Neatorama is about.

Alex - I reprinted the article verbatim, after reading your article, I agree that the real story is more complex. I encourage those who want to read more about the Tasadays to visit Alex's website: Link.

Does anyone remember the name of a Pacific Island tribe that fooled a famous researcher regarding the role of sex in their societal structure?

Any web reference for the Roman game tetrius? I can't find it anywhere on Google or Wikipedia.

And written by Einstein's wife, AK? :)

You're right Erik - the article didn't have Piltdown man and the cloning mess in South Korea. As far as the Kinsey thing - I did write (in the comments #12 and #13, the Alex in #5 is Alex Boese of Museum of Hoaxes) that I'm not familiar with the details of either his work or with Judith Reisman.

Sorry w.y. - I've corrected the title to clarify. It's Samuel Wray's blog, and his blog is titled "My Father's Hand".

where, kelly? I'd definitely like to see it!
