Give it up for Louis Cato and the great big joy Machine.

If you watch the show, and I hope you do, you know that I love science.

It's the only excuse I have to use the words Erlenmeyer Flask.

And I'd like to bring you all the latest science news in my science segment, the Sound of Science.

First up in the world of science, king cobras are spreading to different parts of India by hitching rides on some of the country's busiest railway networks, a new study has found.

The study says that the cobras are probably attracted to the availability of prey on the trains because freight trains carrying grain or fruit can attract rodents, explains the new slogan for Ben's Basmati Rice.

Don't worry, the rodents that were in this rice were all killed by the hitchhiking cobras.

Up in Oregon, a beer made with bear poop is likely a first in brewing history.

Just because something is first doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Look, kids, it's the first American girl doll made of socks filled with teeth.

Her name is Helen, and she survived the Triangle shirtwaist fire.

I know you don't want any further details, but

I have to know it, so you have to know it.

The bear Dukey was introduced to brewing water.

Then they made the water safe to drink and turned it into a beer with notes of huckleberry and honey and with afternotes of toxoplasmosis and dumpster ham.

Next up, biologists say that the world's oldest known vertebrates had two pairs of eyes, which scientists believed enabled this remarkable creature to wear two pairs of Groucho glasses at the same time.

Next up, I don't mean to alarm you with a lousy headline, just meant to get your attention.

But a new study shows that Americans are on the verge of something called a sextinction, which sounds like the title of a movie that accidentally showed up on your hotel bill.

According to research in the United States, one in three men and one in five women have not had sex.

Okay, men in the audience, look to your left.

You now have to have a threesome for America.

Next up, researchers at the University of Maryland have discovered that we fart twice as much as previously thought.

How can you fart twice as much as all the time?

Well, researchers were able to measure people's flatulence using a tiny wearable device that snaps discreetly into underwear and tracks intestinal gas production, called smart underwear.

Okay, but how smart can it be if this is what it does for a living?

Next up, Next up, science and tech website Gizmodo demands watch a man get launched off a truck at 50 miles an hour.

Sadly, seconds later, that guy got hit by a bus.

The reason that experiment worked is the truck was moving 50 miles per hour, but

the guy was launched the opposite direction off the back of the truck, also at 50 miles per hour.

So he was effectively standing still according to the idea of relative motion summed up in Einstein's famous equation.

Dude, it would be so awesome to push a guy off a truck.

Okay, Next up, we're nowhere near ready to make babies in space.

Haven't they heard about the sextinction?

Next up, scans of a 2000 year old mummy show that an ancient Egyptian lived with back pain.

Egyptologists say that when the man's back gave out, he was known to shout bird.

Next up, in Norway, there's some unexpected and confusing news.

Polar bears in the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard have become fatter and healthier, all while sea ice has steadily declined.

Experts suspect the bear's dramatic weight gain may be related to the recent opening of the Svalbard Cheesecake Factory.

We'll be right back with Melissa McCarthy.
