Cartwheeling snakes, a doomsday due 13 November, and an agency trading on the name Springer

Seven strange stories from October 12–25, 2026: a legless snake that cartwheels at 3.7 metres per second, a 1960 doomsday equation due on 13 November, guinea fowl that grew up carrying weights, city birds that flee women a metre sooner, and three integrity cases including an authorship-for-sale agency trading on the name Springer.

Deep-sea rocks that catch fire, a fossil-forgery fight, and 'cerebral torment'

Seven strange stories from September 28–October 11, 2026: deep-sea rocks that spontaneously combusted on a lab bench, a mushroom peptide that made salt taste about 71 per cent stronger, faster molecular aging in big dogs, a mosasaur jaw accused of forgery, and the fortnight's oddest retractions and preprints.

Squeezed shinbones, a failed out-of-body test, and a fake institute in the guidelines

Seven strange findings from September 14–27, 2026, including a shinbone that helps an injured brain recover, an out-of-body trial staged across three rooms, the chemical identity card in cat urine, and a research network that never existed turning up in clinical guidelines.

Kissing ants, splash-free urinals, and dead vipers on hiking trails

Seven real science oddities from August 31 to September 13, 2026, including the fresh 2026 Ig Nobel winners, a retracted hiking-trail viper experiment, a fabled deadline study felled after 24 years, and elephants outwitting perspex boxes.

Buried underwear, 24-legged insects, and the blowhard problem

Seven fresh science oddities from August 16–30, 2026, including a nationwide underwear soil test, a 24-legged fossil insect, long-lived brain organoids, machine-taught human traditions, and a paper whose title sounds like an insult.

Mouse tug-of-war, zombie epidemics, and a paper about an unrun experiment

Seven real oddities from August 2–16: team-playing mice, male-genome female clones, self-sabotaging zombie math, negative photon time, conformist AI agents, and two research-integrity twists.

Superworms, sleeping whales, and rabbit-island boars

This fortnight’s weird-science roundup follows skeleton-cleaning superworms, bubble-blowing sleeping sperm whales, gut-noise recognition, rabbit-island boars, a tainted stroke dataset, and RNA-triggered CRISPR cell killing.

Silly sprinklers, crystal-hoarding chimps, and a detector that found fake aliens

A sharp, shareable roundup of the fortnight’s strangest experiments and research-integrity plot twists: pill bugs trapped by streetlights, an AI fooled by fake life, crystal-obsessed chimps, a human gene that bulked up potatoes, and Max Planck papers returned from a 15-year paperwork loop.

Poop physics, zombie tissue, and junk-food God

Physicists derived a universal law of poop coiling and proposed a second poop emoji, while a windshield bug-splat study was retracted over duplicated data. Also inside: impossible plant “picoparticles,” a hammer-head urology limerick challenge, religious cues linked to junk-food cravings, gossip tied to fertility, and sea cucumber tissue that lived for years without a body.

Bedtime orgasms, killer hair, and bones that became tools — wackiest science, June 15–22

Masturbation helps sleep, killer hair amputates body parts, 47% of women orgasm more alone, and Iron Age bones turned into tools then buried back.

Tiny marching people, sound-wave espresso, and a space-rock band-aid — wackiest science, June 8–15

A Yunnan mushroom puts 96% of eaters into Gulliver hallucinations — its genome contains zero known psychedelic genes, so nobody knows how. Ultrasonic espresso brewed with sound waves at room temperature fooled 100 blind tasters. Scientists discover humans everywhere drift counterclockwise when wandering aimlessly, and eliminating handedness, eye-dominance, and Coriolis force still leaves the cause unexplained. Meteorite powder outperformed surgical gauze on pig liver wounds. And a procrastinating professor took down a decade of fraudulent EMDR citations.

Bird surgery, mummy bread, and a glowing danger-bird — wackiest science, June 1–8

A parrot researcher learns vets have been operating on birds to stop masturbation (it's actually fine in the wild). Plus: sourdough baked from Ötzi the Iceman's 5,300-year-old yeast, a cassowary skull that glows electric blue under UV, infrasound that spikes cortisol invisibly, GPT-4o failing a kindergarten color test, a retraction ordered under lawsuit threat, and Antarctic krill quietly solving climate change one pellet at a time.
