Overly Honest Methods
The Twitter hashtag #overlyhonestmethods is getting really big these days (or, it is "trending", to use Twitter terms). Here is an article about it. It's interesting how most of these seem to come from biology, though I don't know how much this is just because there are so many bloody biologists. :) You can see more doozies in this Huffington Post article.
I have to say that this is not optimal for my productivity, though I have managed to be pretty good about things thus far. :)
(Tip of the cap to I Fucking Love Science for the article above and to Kreso Josic for first letting me know about this meme. I'm not up for looking up the html codes for the accents Kreso's name at the moment, but I'm sure he'll forgive me.)
