The male giraffe will continuously headbutt the female in the bladder until she urinates. The male then tastes the pee and that helps it determine whether the female is ovulating. If she is, it’s business time.

Some guy secretly outsourced his job paying $ hundreds of thousands per year to some Chinese consulting company for $50 K, played make-believe work instead surfing on the web all day watching cat videos, trading on Ebay, reading reddit, probably watching some naked dancing girls while at it haha, before finally being caught up with and fired.

The Repository for Germinal Choice, better known as the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank, was founded in 1980 by multimillionaire Robert Graham, inventor of shatterproof eyeglass lenses. His goal was to combine the sperm and eggs of superior men and women—ideally Nobel laureates—to produce superior babies. If all this sounds an awful lot like eugenics, well, it was.

In practice, most Nobel Prize winners were smart enough to steer clear of the bank, but three decided to make a deposit. One of these was William Shockley, who won the award for inventing the transistor and was an unapologetic racist. The other sperm donors were more random, and at least one of them lied about his intelligence. But was The Repository for Germinal Choice a failure? That’s hard to say. It brought more than 200 babies into this world, and many had higher-than-average IQs. In the end, however, its biggest legacy was that it changed how sperm banks work by offering detailed profiles of the donors. Now it’s commonplace for women to choose the looks, professions, and interests of the men whose sperm they wish to use.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was at one time a good friend of Harry Houdini but when Harry started to publicly denounce seances and spiritualism they fell out.
Some even accused the spiritualists of murdering Houdini.

Doyle actually solved 2 real murder cases and got the 2 gaoled men released from prison.
