Science is serious business. It is conducted by old men with glasses and white lab coats in underground chambers. It has to do with chemicals and numbers and chalkboards with strange formulas. There is no way that science could every be fun. And definitely not research papers. While that may hold some truth, if you read through some scientific literature you may be inclined to change your mind. There are plenty of research papers out there on topics as silly sounding as cow farts. We’re serious. Although it is sometimes unclear as to what the researchers were hoping to accomplish, the titles of their research papers are bizarre enough to elicit some good laughs. Many times, of course, studying something like cow farts is actually quite useful (cows are one of the primary contributors to greenhouse gasses) and can help change our world for the better. There are other research topics though, that might leave you more puzzled. In one paper the researchers tried to figure out the optimal surface across which you would drag sheep. We are as confused as you. Apparently, however, somebody thought it would be worth funding and at the very least it gave us a good laugh. These are 25 extremely bizarre research papers!
