What kind of insane stuff do you come across when you read far too many scientific studies?

To post so much so frequently I need to read a lot more than you ever see here on the blog. A lot more.

In doing so I come across some crazy stuff.

I’m normally focused on studies that make you scratch your head or can improve your life but everyone can use some crazy now and then.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but here’s some of the stranger stuff I have come across lately:
