This is so bizarre and such a good read (and a staggeringly great headline): A Feud in Wolf-Kink Erotica Raises a Deep Legal Question. It's all very, very strange (but kudos for wearing a mask): 28 of the most creative face masks from around the world. Terrifying: I Can't Believe I'm Still Alive After Using Facebook Dating.
From Ken Piper, and this is fascinating: Gears of war: When mechanical analog computers ruled the waves. Next, and this is so strange, it's This Lickable Screen Can Recreate Almost Any Taste or Flavor Without Eating Food. This is excellent: The Science of Temperature is Weirder Than You Think.
