CAPE CANAVERAL— A capsule that could become the first commercial vehicle to reach the International Space Station was expected to arrive at its Space Coast launch site today. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft left its Hawthorne, Calif., production facility Wednesday, setting off on a cross-country journey on a wide-load truck bound for Launch Complex 40 at [...]  Where has this show been all my life? That Mitchell and Webb Look has produced a ton of amazing satirical videos that address general quackery, pseudo-science, and conspiracy theorists. In this video they explore what a typical Emergency Room might be like if the world subscribed to Homeopathy and “alternative medicine”. And in doing [...] I recently saw on Facebook that a number of friends were taking the Autism Spectrum Quotient test for fun. It is a serious academic survey that results in a number indicating your position on the Autism spectrum. Not wanting to broadcast my results to the world via Facebook, I searched for this test outside [...] It’s a fine new science museum in Hartford, CT. We visited yesterday and had a pretty good time.

The answer, of course, is marketing. You have been told for [...] Tags: borlaug, food, genetically, herbicides, modified, organic, pesticides, save Category: Keys to Understanding, Science RulesOnce again, I’m just the messenger here… but in a nutshell… The more intelligent you are, the more likely you are to be a liberal, and an atheist. Oh, and you are also more likely to be faithful to your wife. And I do mean “wife” and not “spouse”, as this part is only [...] The Ooine tag-line claims that we enjoy clever automata. We are sure that many of you have wondered about that. Well wonder no longer! Here, for your pleasure, is a fine example of a clever automaton. You’re welcome. The world needs more of this. I’m not sure what else to say, really. We just need more. The masses need to know that there is little need to believe in magic today. Some people claim to be “spiritual” simply as an antidote to our materialistic world, and that is perfectly fine. But you [...] |
