Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice

Val posted this yesterday so some of you will have already seen it, but for those of you who don't have the good fortune to be on her friendslist I must re-share. It is important that as many people as possible see this.

The Oddest Book Titles

Application of High Tech Squids?

Lesbian Sadomasochism Safety Manual?

Versailles: The View From Sweden?*

Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality?

Explosive Spiders and How to Make Them?

...Penetrating Wagner's Ring????

I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.

* This does remind me of a moment at Arlanda Airport which Val may recall... "Somehow I always thought it would be bigger."

I think you're being a tad harsh. I always wanted to know how to make an explosive spider. They get in handy.

And surely everybody wants to penetrate Wagner's ring. Whoever he is.

Wagner's Ring, Dave's Manhole...

Methinks it's related to Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelungs", n'est-ce pas?

Design for Impact: 50 Years of Airline Safety Cards - must've been produced by Project Mayhem.

Doesn't everyone?

I'm still wondering about American Bottom Archaeology. Clearly I should have paid more attention to what the US was getting up to back in university. XD

... The last one? PRICELESS. I'M GOING TO GO LOOK IT UP NOW.

Seriously. Inquiring minds want to know.

... It looks less interesting than I was hoping D: Maybe I will go check it out from a library. JUST SO, YOU KNOW. WE CAN KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO PENETRATE WAGNER'S RING.

Whose bottom? A lift-the-flap guide? *snerk*

A field guide to shopping trolleys sounds like something from the Discworld. :D
