Well, ScientificAmerican.com has a couple of articles that might just do the trick. Focusing on a specific part of the human anatomy, they will either entertain, inform, or possibly simply irritate you.

The first, The Secret of the Phallus, starts out with a great hook  “…If you’ve ever had a good, long look at the human phallus, whether yours or someone else’s, you’ve probably scratched your head over such a peculiarly shaped device.”  and then continues on to discuss the research of evolutionary psychologists such as Gordon Gallup who studies the design and evolution of the human penis.

The second article, The Misunderstood Penis, was written in response to some of the comments the author received to his first article. Apparently some of his readers had quite diverse reactions to the ‘Secrets of the Phallus’ ranging from “…the incredulous (are you seriously suggesting that chimpanzees aren’t promiscuous?—“tomrees”), to the imaginative (penises! they’re so cute, you just want to pinch their cheeks and give them cookies—“montavilla”), to the rather irritable (stupid, biased thinking again from an ‘evolutionary psychologist’—“hcollins2009”)” So, to set the record straight, the author expanded on Gallup’s research, particularly his semen replacement therapy.

Check them out. They are definitely worth a read.
