This is, quite possibly, the oddest science-related Top Ten list that I've seen:

I am just…not comfortable with any of it…

Who thinks these things up? Ugh! Just a list of topics one would want to discuss at a party. Very, very weird things. Thanks Revenant!

Yes, sometimes we forget what a very curious world that we live in. Lists like that one…definitely reminds you of that.

Ummm….yuck!
On a serious note, there are some things that might have evolved in a better fashion. For instance, animals have essentially one tube for both breathing and sending food to the stomach. Although this sounds OK, if two separate tubes had evolved for each function, then it would be impossible to choke on food.
But that is mild compared to this list. I knew about sharks eating their own siblings in utero but the rest was a total surprise. Interesting trivia. I think.
