This quote is just golden: "...the more classic investigatory approach of 'poke it with something.'"  Yep.  It's sciency all right.

I was thinking "Blinded me with science," and yes, the first guy was! Thanks dude, that made my night

Proof that the lines between bravery/baddassery and sheer stupidity are thinner than the singed hair on a gnome tinkerers forehead.

Ahh, cracked.com... they never let you down (at least not if you are looking for strange facts).
As an additional fact, i think i read somewhere that the first entry was the experimental process which is the origin of Murphy's Law.

Anyway, if somebody still hasn't fanatically read all the weird fact articles they have here are some additional links:

Hmm, couldn't find the one with the weird mythological animals (even though they got some of the details wrong).
Anyway, these could maybe even be used for some inspiration (maybe). Anyway, they are funny.

I have cracked.com saved as the third link I visit every day  - it's a fantastically funny site to read.  You should check out their "Craptions" as well.  Here are my favorite articles, that I have bookmarked.

Bat Battle is really good.

 6 Endangered Animals that aren't Endangered Enough is pretty true.

Stan Lee was a genius

and seriously, genetics will destroy the world

The only thing i read before that is saturday morning breakfast cereal. Also quite often amazingly funny, especially considering it's a daily one panel webcomic. Speaking of which, did anybody get to read "Hellbound" when it was still up?
