This prettysweet (two words combined, not seperated, meaning cool rather than pretty OR sweet, because that four eared cat.....not so pretty) competition is run through cosmiclog msnbc.
The top ten winners get put in a 'Weirdy Gallery'.
What took number 1??
Well....Nearly 2 pounds of 2700 year old marajuana was found by Archaeologists in China's Gobi Desert. 'Believed to be buried with an ancient Shaman as a mark of respect'. Scientists did lab test that showed it had lost it's psychoactive effect.
Other competitors in the Weird Science Awards were....
- 'Size matters to sex crazed spiders' - Scientists found out that smaller male spiders get more action than bigger spiders..why? because they mature faster, and are quicker on their feet...I'm figuring this may mean they can dance. Girls sure like boys who can dance.
- 'Male lizards do push-ups to impress the laaaaadiees' (I added the extra a's and e's, cause this is how i say Laaaaadieees)
- 'Real life Furbys discovered' - Pygmy tarste were found on an Indonesian Island
- 'Scientist confirm sharks virgin birth' - hmmmmm, does this mean that, that shark is the Jesus of underwater land??
- 'Four eared feline called Yoda' - apparently not that rare?? what the! that thing is creepy.
- 'Tiny tree shrew can drink you under the table' - as pictured above, this wee guy is a Malaysian pen-tailed tree shrew that survives entirely on a diet of beer. The flower buds he eats can reach up to 3.8% alcohol content! I think he may need to go to AA.
- 'Scientists breed see-through fish' - 'Experimental models for disease and biological processes seen in humans', Specifically these Zebrafish, named 'Casper' (like the ghost) will be used for cancer reseach to see how it spreads.
- 'Ancient Joke Book found that dates back 1600 years' - 'Some of the jokes are strikingly familiar to modern ones with subjects including farts, sex, ugly wives and a dimwit referred to as 'a student dunce'. 'Some jokes are likely to baffle modern audience however, especially ones about lettuce (YES I JUST WROTE LETTUCE!), which only makes sense if you share the ancient superstition that the vegetable is an aphodisiac'...........Yes... theres nothing like lettuce to turn me on.
