Spunky scientists! A book review for "The Genius Factory" about the whacky antics of highly-intelligent(?) people. See men who think they are smart beat themselves senseless trying preserve their attributes for all time. Come dumpster-diving through the annals of shameful Nobel-related behaviour. This post and an earlier one form a wierd kind of synergism.

I couldn't resist.

  • Oh, come now.
  • spermfilter!
  • SideDish beat me to it!
  • syner-gism.
  • spermfilter! I thought they pulled the sponge off the market.
  • Perhaps that's what those sperm cube people are really after. They're going to make this humongous bukkake soup and let the strongest, fittest spermatozoa emerge. Then the experiment begins... /cue creepy organ (ha!) music
  • "Spunkyfilter is a Metafilter clone, only with more bananas and less flinging." Eww.
  • Nah, Flagpole, after the show's over they're going to hook it to one of those giant tippy-buckets you see at water parks, and then...
  • Dammit, mct, I read that as "spooge". Now I've been sucked in.
  • I hear this is how they made Ira Glass.

  • Hello. Sperm Talk? Am I on the air?
  • Hi, Sperm Talk, long-time listener, first time caller. Umm...how many times a day before, um, you know, your brain asplodes?
  • The Genius Factory began as a series for the online magazine Slate Which was posted here, a couple of months back.
  • The implications for the future of humanity are truly frightening... I mean, books based on articles from Slate. Icch!
  • Truly, it is our duty to deseminate this information.
  • I would venture that the book is a seminal work in it's field.
  • I would suggest that it... er... jizz... big spermy cock... um. Or something. I need coffee.
