If the phrase, "a faceful of baby juice" does not offend you, today's zefrank1 science lesson may be just the titilation you require.
It's about mussels, those clam-things.
Is it risque? Or xxx-rated? I'm not sure.

Aislin, Globe and Mail?
--Aislin / Globe and Mail
While Montreal patriots paddle and bail to save the Montreal Gazette from the dark waters of Postmedia bean-counters and faceless hedge funds, has the Globe and Mail sent out a lifeboat?
Drawn from the Headlines debuted in Saturday's Globe, ostensibly soliciting weekly topical art from the world's best cartoonists.
But Terry Mosher--aka Aislin--was first up at the plate. An odd coincidence?
In a week when Montreal's only English-language newspaper is in distress, is that a Globe/Aislin fishing boat?

Cokey the Bear
_Cocaine Bear grossed
$28.4 milllion
over the weekend.
"I saw Avatar and Wakanda Forver on their opening weekends and the theaters were practically empty. Audience response was lifeless – you could’ve heard a pin drop in those theaters ...
Cocaine Bear was not one of those experiences. Saturday night, 7:20 showtime, packed theater and the crowd ate it up. I heard applause in a theater for first time since No Way Home."

Party on, bear
There is no new movie I want to see as much as Cocaine Bear.
It opened yesterday.
My favorite film critic has seen it.
My favorite film critic has seen it.
"Cocaine Bear allegedly, is based on true events,
in much the same way
that “Pinocchio” is based on string theory"
Anthony Lane writes in the New Yorker.
"It's a film about a bear that does coke: eats it, snorts it, hunts it, sneezes it, and,
at one rapturous moment,
showers in it."
There's a drug drop in a forest.
Enter hungry bear.
Bad things happen.
Trailer below.
Lane thinks Cocaine Bear
will be embraced by
cackling weirdos
at midnight showings.
My hand is up.
I once saw a radio guy grind his teeth,
while trying to talk at a party.
It was pretty much gibberish.
But really fun.
I need to see a bear do that.
"Get ready for Fentanyl Hyena, Meth Bobcat, and the uncompromising Skunk Skunk,” Lane writes. "The possibilities, I regret to say, are endless."
The trailer is a classic.
Always root for the bear
