If you thought the story about http://www.viddler.com/v/86e2e579the woman who regularly jerked off her dolphin friend/test subject Peter was twisted, get a load of what else happened to the dolphins in that experiment. As detailed in BBC Four's The Girl Who Talked to Dolphins, which aired tonight in the U.K., John C.

A lot of these experiments revolved around dolphin communication—specifically, Margaret Howe Lovatt (the titular girl who talked to dolphins...sometimes with her hand) attempted to teach English to her beloved Peter.

Dr. Mehmet Oz—of the The Dr. Oz Show fame—was hauled in front of a Senate panel today to answer for all the dubious benefits he claims certain weight loss products will provide. Products that he officially endorses with his name on the label. Products that he shills on his nationally-syndicated daytime television show.

One of the most heartwrenching scenes in the season 4 finale of Game of Thrones was between Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen and two of her dragons. No one expected to well up over CGI creatures during an episode where very bad things happened to several major characters, but here we are. All the moment was missing was the Sarah McLachlan soundtrack from those SPCA ads.

For many readers, New York magazine's profile of Terry Richardson this week was deeply unsatisfying. With all the talk of the photographer as "artist," critics said, it was as if his extensive misbehavior had never happened.

The same dogs who adorably failed to grasp a magician's sleight-of-hand are back, and this time, they're being subjected to a voice actor speaking to them "in dog." Whether the human barking "means anything" is basically irrelevant, because someone is making noise.

"He would literally say...'God has told me I'm chosen to cut taxes and stop killing babies,' even in casual conversation." This is the nicest thing anyone has to say about Scott Walker, who will never be president, in Alec MacGillis' TNR profile of the Wisconsin governor.

You know when you were a kid and your friends were all, "Hey, go into that abandoned house, you big baby. What are you so afraid of?" A boy in Dayton, Ohio is proving we were right for chickening out after finding a five-year-old mummified body hanging in a closet.

In the penultimate episode of this season of Louie, we’re given a 90-minute flashback into Louie becoming a stoner in middle school. There’s a scene in which his science teacher demonstrates to the class that if you fall asleep through loud noise, its absence can work the same way as an alarm clock to wake you up. This—waking up thanks to a sudden silence—was how I felt watching the fourth season of the show, which ended last night.

Your best friend, Jennifer Lawrence, has an email address with the word "butt" in it. Of course she does, because she's a cool girl who checks out John Stamos' ass and has a well-organized collection of butt plugs.

Abdullah Elshamy, an Al Jazeera reporter who has been in jail in Egypt on trumped-up charges for nearly a year, has been ordered released on account of his failing health, and judging from before-and-after photos of Elshamy, it's clear that his release is an urgent matter.
