When I saw famed photog Annie Leibovitz in today's New York Times, I instantly flashed on famed director Martin Scorsese. Has anyone ever seen these two masters of the lens in the same room together?

Co-ed Pig Wrestling
As Mr. Skip Peterson tells us: "This is an annual fund raiser held in Buffalo, Wyoming, for a local gymnastics team. Contestants have one minute to get the greased hog, butt first into the barrel. The coed team must also dip their hands into a bucket of Crisco before the game begins. The winning time this year was 7.45 seconds. Every team had a freash pig and each pig was only allowed to participate one time. Enjoy!"2008 Coed Pig Wrestling Championships from skip peterson on Vimeo.

Male interest in visual cues of sperm competition
This study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior offers some interesting insights into male psychology:The Puzzle:
Pornography produced for men does seem to appeal to their evolved interests in sexual variety and multiple matings by depicting numerous women who are willing to engage in casual sex without investment. However, perhaps the most direct way in which pornography could cater to these aspects of male sexual psychology would be to depict situations in which a man gains sexual access to multiple women. By embodying male "harem fantasies," such material should tend to appeal to male interests in sequestering, and monopolizing sexual access to, numerous women. However, a cursory examination of commercially produced pornographic videos and photographs reveals that depictions of situations in which a man gains exclusive sexual access to multiple women are, in fact, relatively rare. Moreover, depictions of sexual activity involving a woman and several men appear to be much more common. In extreme forms, this type of orgiastic sexual activity can involve one woman and a very large number of men.
Bonus (It's not just humans):
The sexual performance of domesticated farm animals can be enhanced by allowing them to view other conspecific males engaged in copulatory behavior. After observing another male copulate with a female, bulls ejaculate more frequently and male goats show reduced latencies to mount and ejaculate. Similar improvements in sexual performance are seen in stallions that display a lack of sexual interest. Crucially, the stimulatory effects associated with viewing a female copulating with another male are greater than are those of watching a restrained cow by herself. Moreover, similar effects are seen in boars that have merely viewed another male mounting and ejaculating over a dummy sow.
The scientific explanation: Sperm Competition!
Sperm competition is the competition between the sperm of different males to fertilize a female's gamete(s). In a species with internal fertilization, it can occur whenever a female engages in "double mating" such that live sperm from two (or more) males are present within her reproductive tract...
If sperm competition has been an important selection pressure during human evolution, then sexual arousal may be an adaptive response to its occurrence since frequent copulation can be an effective method of paternity assurance. Consequently, although men should generally find mate sharing to be aversive, they may nevertheless find cues of increased sperm competition risk to be sexually arousing.

Man Drought
Australia has been facing a drought in recent years, but according to a new book published down under, it's not just water in short supply. Australia's cities are also suffering from a "man drought." The problem is that there's a "man dam" in rural communities -- which means that all the men are staying on the farm while the women move to the city to find work, thus causing a "sheila shortage" in the outback. This prompted the mayor of the remote town of Mt. Isa to invite all the female "ugly ducklings" to move there to find a man.Nothing particularly weird about all this. I just like the phrases.
