THE HISTORY OF FUCKING
I made a timeline charting the invention of fucking. Partly based this on the organism Microbrachius Dicki which I read was the first-known animal to stop reproducing by spawning and instead mate by fucking. To be 100% accurate though the graph should mention that after the Dicki died out fucking also stopped for a few million years before being brought back by the ancestors of sharks and rays. And this was the article I read that in, also fun fact: In the article there’s also a cute little diagram of them holding hands while they do it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-29661446

BIOLOGY
In case you ever wondered how the toothbrushes in your bathroom reproduce. It has been observed that, after many months of intermingling between brushes, a mature toothbrush will eventually spread its bristles to allow saliva spores to dribble down the side of the cup and settle around its base. Out of this substrate new toothbrushes will then spring up and grow to full size. By spring, your toothbrush cup will be bustling with a wild array of different toothbrush species, until the point comes that they are culled, plucked by a keen-eyed human and thrown in the bin.

ESOTERIC PRODUCTS
Mark Tolson and I made these esoteric products for our Mystic Mark Shop. The above Homeopathic Gullibility Cure, “gets to work after only a single gulp, instantly re-energising your incredulity chakras. By building a skeptical particle wall around your naïvety gland it’s also effective at stopping quantum mechanical trickery.” And below, Ghost Cheese is especially churned from the ectoplasm of free-range spirits, (*May contain traces of demons) If you like any of this we also write a monthly ‘astrology’ column for The Skinny magazine in the North and Scotland. They’re all online here. #MysticMark

50,000 VISITORS TO THE MEAT PLANET
The lost episode of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos I edited with Mark Tolson has reached 50,000 views on Youtube. It’s the first time any of my videos have reached that mark so I’m nauseatingly glad. You can watch the video here. And read more unsettling details about The Meat Planet here. #Science #MeatPlanet
THE MEAT PLANET
Over the last few months I’ve been editing together this documentary about The Meat Planet with my old pal Mark Tolson. Unfortunately, it is now completely finished and available to view by small children on the Internet. We have also collated some very important scientific data on The Meat Planet which we have uploaded for your displeasure. #Science #MeatPlanet #Film
