Get your geek on!

Inside out: How to tell you are a true nerd: instead of Linkin Park or Pamela Anderson (or their era-appropriate equivalents) in poster form on your adolescent bedroom wall, you had the blueprints of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701. If knowing the exact location of Worf’s starboard commode excites you (and it should), the Starship Schematics Database features detailed x-ray diagrams of ships from Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5 and, curiously, Space Battleship Yamato, the Japanese epic space opera brought to our shores as Star Blazers at www.shipschematics.net.

Iguanageddidon: Add another item to the list of what the Japanese lead the world in—Web documentation of hot iguana-on-iguana sex. Akira Yamanouchi, of the Yamanouchi Iguana Laboratory (his tiny apartment), photographed his pet iguanas enthusiastically copulating, with some seriously disturbing close-ups. By the way—male iguanas have two penises. NSFW (or anywhere else) at http://yil.jp/iguana/reproduction/ adult.htm.
