Part of the great­ness that is the Inter­net is pro­vid­ing infor­ma­tion to the gen­eral pub­lic that wouldn’t oth­er­wise be pre­sented. The best exam­ple of this is those zany sites that con­tain weird exper­i­ments and projects. The kind that when some­one has noth­ing else to do or they just are sit­ting around one day and it pops into their mind.

For instance, have you ever thought about tor­tur­ing poor lit­tle Twinkies? These guys have and they doc­u­ment it here. Since it was Easter yes­ter­day, have you ever pon­dered an exper­i­ment involv­ing Peeps? Well, Peepresearch.org has. They have exper­i­ments and pic­tures to prove their hypotheses.

Aside from Twinkie tor­ture, how about try­ing to get your sis­ter a date and then video­tap­ing it? This guy did it, check it out; The Date-my-Sister Project. While your at the site, check out his other tests and projects includ­ing the Fat Project. Funny stuff.

Now that I think about it, I wish I would have thought of this dur­ing junior high. Remem­ber those stu­pid sci­ence projects you’d have to endure? You know, the ones where you had to buy the “poster board”, search for a fea­si­ble hypoth­e­sis and then gather the evi­dence and doc­u­ment “said” evi­dence on the white board. It didn’t stop there how­ever. Even­tu­ally you’d have to turn the assign­ment in and it would be judged with all of the other “exper­i­ments”. A favorite of mine was the oblig­a­tory “potato bat­tery” or “water fun­gus” projects.

I should have doc­u­mented the tor­tur­ing of Twinkies and mad sci­en­tist exper­i­men­ta­tion on Peeps. That would have been an easy A. Easy, for sheezy.
