Pep Talk
Here's a great article about the pep talk from Forbes Magazine. The article is well written, and covers the pep talk given by various leaders, both real and fictional, and why they seem to inspire followers to go out there and go for blood, even though it may be a futile situation. The article is great for the number of quotes it uses to get its point across -- a great collection of rousing speeches.
Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
