Introduction

At popular science, we report and write dozens of scinc in hec stories every week. And while most of the stuff we stumble across makes it into our articles, we also find plenty of weird facts that we just keep around the office. We start by each offering up a little tease about some kind of fact or story that we found in the course of reading, writing, reporting, et cetera. Then once we've all had time to spin our little science yarns, we reconvene and decide what the weirdest thing we learn this week actually was.
