A postdoc in my lab just send me this list. Check the original site here.To research my new book, Elephants on Acid, I scoured scientific archives searching for the most bizarre experiments of all time — the kind that are mind-twistingly, jaw-droppingly strange... the kind that make you wonder, "How did anyone ever conceive of doing such a thing?"
Listed below are twenty of these experiments.

#2: Obedience
#3: Demikhov’s Two-Headed Dogs
#4: The Initiation of Heterosexual Behavior in a Homosexual Male

#8: Facial expressions while decapitating a rat
#9: The Vomit-Drinking Doctor
#10: Beneficial Brainwashing
#11: Monkey-Head Transplant
#12: The Remote-Controlled Bull
#13: The Ape and the Child
