NotW: * An April issue of New Scientist magazine reported that Australia's national research organization CSIRO has already made three sales of its "phalloblaster" device (at about $3,500 [U.S.]) that inflates the genitalia of dead insects to make it easier to classify them. Its official name is the "vesica everter," and it will work on genitalia as small as those of moths with wingspans of 2 millimeters.
