Penile plethysmograph
Good lord; until today, it was a routine practice by a service of the B.C. Ministry for Children and Family Development to assess a convicted sex offender by "attach[ing] a device to his penis [and then] play[ing] images of adults having sex and of naked children while monitoring the youth's level of arousal".
Sounds like something from the early half of this century.
Update (next day): surprise, surprise; the cancellation of this wacky test came down after somebody realized that one of their technicians had been convicted of sexual assault.

Twittage
- Just took a 2-hour nap on the boardroom table.
- Likely going to stop reading twitter now that it's broken via RSS. Workaround suggestions welcome. (Hoping that @nnw_Mac will add support!)
- Praise the l0rd; iOS 4.1 finally restores my iPhone 3G to its reasonably-snappy state of old.
- How do I get an RSS feed of the twitter accounts I'm following? Previously using /statuses/friends_timeline.rss but that broke yesterday.
- Words which irritate me: "price point" (just say "price"); "sign off on" (just say "sign"); "viral video" (just say "trendy tripe").
