What makes the ocean salty?

January 2, 2012

Sense About Science, a British non-profit promoting scientific literacy, publishes an annual list of stupid things celebrities said about science. One highlight from the 2011 year in review:

A bizarre quote from TV personality [Nicole "Snooki"] Polizzi, who declared recently: “I don’t really like the beach. I hate sharks, and the water’s all whale sperm. That’s why the ocean’s salty.”

I mostly know Snooki from Jersey Shore clips on The Soup and Beavis & Butthead, but I might just have to start watching that show. Or maybe read Snooki’s novel.

Another citation from the science sticklers:

Christian Louboutin, a French footwear designer, was taken with something a fellow party guest told him about shoes.

“She said that what is sexual in a high heel is the arch of the foot, because it is exactly the position of a woman’s foot when she orgasms. So putting your foot in a heel, you are putting yourself in a possibly orgasmic situation,” he explained.

Hmmm, female Daze readers, is there anything to this theory? Should dudes be bending your feet more during foreplay?
