• Discovered that cigarette butts are actually bio-degradable (takes years though).
• Discovered mathematician Serge Lang. I recall having seen many Springer-Verlag math text books by him, though i've never happened to have read one of his. It turns out, he's quite a controversial guy. Check out his “File”, where he debunk several other prominent scientists of scam. Ok, i like Lang now. Check out his interview here: http://www.dipmat.unipg.it/~mamone/sci-dem/archivio/la-li.pdf
Shady academic papers and the ugly fighting among prominent academic figures abound. In the past all the way back to the Greeks, to today.

Misc Tidbits.
Discovered Wikipedia article: Adult documentary. It means a web page with sex related material, sometimes explicit photos, but is not porn site. About 3% of my site's pages are of this nature. e.g.
- Visual arts: Paintings of Odalisque and Prostitutes, Art of Francisco Goya, Art Of Moebius, Art of Sexual Positions
- Sculpture of Armless Woman, Britney Spear as Birthing Sculpture, Paris Hilton Sculpture.
- US American phenomenon of wearing US flag as bikini. Banners, Damsels, and Mores
- A report of sexual activities that's teeming in Second Life: BDSM in Second Life, Sex in Second Life, Animal Love in Second Life, A Double-bun Haired Sex Slave in Second Life
- Opinion on porn: Xah's Porn Outspeak.
Discovered Wikipedia article: Traumatic insemination. This is quite funny. Some insects,when having sex, instead of aiming penis for the vagina, it just pokes a hole in the female's tummy and inject semen there. LOL. Quite a novelty. This reminds me of the Borg in StarTrek. They assimilate others by similar method.
Discovered Flac, a lossless compression format for audio files.
I found out today, that a Wikipedia article on the torture porn Cindy's Torment, has been removed. This is a story that sparked internet censorship in the 1990. I have now mirrored the article here: Wikipedia Article on Cindy's Torment.
