Methods and Materials...



from boingboing: Why you should always read the methods and materials sections of scientific papers. The money quote from a journal article examining the effectiveness of chicken soup to inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis:

"Traditional chicken soup was prepared according to a family recipe, which will be referred to as 'Grandma's soup.'"

There's also another example about necrophilia in fruit flies.

Funny stuff.
