Things that are funny late at night...

I found something that reduced me to giggles last night at midnight, and just now I went looking for it again.

I feared it wouldn't be funny anymore. But it still is. There are lots of articles on gender and sexuality topics on Wikipedia, and I had been flipping around through so many that I could not remember where I found what cracked me up.

Turns out it's in the article on polysexuality, which I think I was reading to find out how exactly that term differs from pansexuality.

The funny bit was at the end, in the references:

Kaloski, Ann. "Extract from 'Bisexuals Making Out with Cyborgs: Politics, Pleasure, Con/fusion' (1997)." In Storr. 201-210.

Holy crap! I love academia. (This is nearly as good as the 'Metropolis' quip from last week.)

Ya know, I wondered if this would reference the cyborg as Donna Haraway sees it, and sure enough, that's even mentioned in the abstract.

So this article's gonna explain why I have always been fascinated by cyborgs, yes? That's awesome cuz I've been wondering.

Penguins

Be careful of the penguins, they're sneaky little buggers.
