Oddlee has a great list of weirdest scientific articles ever published. They include studies of how white people commit suicide more often if they listen to country music, as well as treatises on nervous farting and the air speed velocity of cheddar cheese. Left out of the list are the the famous 1940s articles on porcupine sex, as well as the infamous physics experiments on falling beer bubbles. [VSL]
