Sometimes you hit the motherlode of strange when you are just randomly surfing. I revisited
Bill Beaty’s
Amateur Science Page. It’s a great site, with many good projects and
links for the amateur mad scientist. His site of the month is the fairly
un-mad Kill B.O., an amateur research project into the use of anti-fungal creams
to prevent body odor. Far more entertaining is the
Stinky Feet web page. Witness the trials and tribulations of a
guy willing to stomp around the Central Square YMCA locker room, then attach plastic bags around his feet for days to give himself
athletes foot.

If that’s not mad science, I don’t know what is.
