Times Online details 10 of the most bizarre experiments ever devised. I rather doubt some of these would have made it past institutional review today:
7) Turkey turn-ons
Martin Schein and Edgar Hale, of Pennsylvania State University, devoted themselves to studying the sexual behaviour of turkeys in the 1960s, and discovered that the birds are not choosy. Taking a model of a female turkey, they progressively removed body parts until the males lost interest.
Even when all that remained was a head on a stick, the male turkeys remained turned on.
Read the whole thing, and wonder to yourself who is paying for this crap...
