Ok, while I was on the whole ‘weird love’* kick, there’s this more tame item: a sex toy for male dogs.

Even I have my limits. And this just seems stupid. Wake me up when it gets motorized.

* a nicer way to describe inner-species/inner-everything love, right? How do you describe a man and a pillowcase when talking about a relationship, anyway?

This link (which I can’t ruin by explaining) started it. And then I got passed this link — a NYT article about men who are in love with 2D representations of women.

Yes. You read that correctly.

And it’s just as wild as you might imagine — you know, if you find a grown man who is in love with a pillowcase to be wild. Your mileage might vary.

For the latest science news that makes me uncomfortable for some reason, science shows men might be hardwired to objectify women:

Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.

Scans of some of the men found that a part of the brain associated with empathy for other peoples’ emotions and wishes shut down after looking at the pictures.

Because, generally, I see women as nothing but a set of nails and screws.

I am a sucker for themed series. I am also a sucker for weird cultural investigations of porn. So it’s not a stretch to realize I would be a huge fan of a book showing opening scenes from porn movies.

slideshow @ wallpaper.com or order the book. $34 bucks for 80 pages. I’m pretty tempted.

Fifty Years of Popular Songs Condensed Into Single Sentences: I want to do it with you.

The funniest thing you will read all day. I promise.

Related: I remember being young and my sister asking my father why most songs were about love. Since she was probably 5 or 6 at the time, he was most impressed with her noticing it. I remember just being slightly jealous, as I had never thought to voice such an obvious truth. That or I hadn’t noticed.

Either way, this list is awesome.
