Redskin Rat:
There actually are several people at research universities who study sasquatch. Hence there is a "bigfoot science," whether you are aware of this or not. Your being dismissive does not change reality.

My research into sasquatch occurred as part of a project on a different topic, for which an element including sasquatch research was a helpful sidebar. Neither I nor my school received a dime of grant money for this research, which was published in a good academic journal.

If you want to opine that sasquatch doesn't exist, fine, join the very large club of people who agree with you. But I was talking about a scientific attitude toward sasquatch.

And I would counter that just because something is studied in University does not make it science.

Again, I would direct your attention to Bertrand's celestial samovar....

Exposure to pesticides in food, air and water increases risk of type 2 diabetes, says new study | National Monitor

Researchers discovered that people with higher concentrations of DDE – the main metabolite in the pesticide DDT – are four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than other people. The risk of type 2 diabetes is also linked to exposure to β-HCH (beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane), which is found in the formula of the pesticide Lindano.

Anybody who's suffered through cancer or had a loved one die from it, you'll be happy to see progress in the fight against cancer. Huge news I'd say.

I hope we see a cure in our lifetime, or at least a very significant advancement in treatment.

Report: Russian meteor blast injures at least 1,000 people - CNN.com

Pretty incredible watching this meteor blazing through the sky.


Just in time to see the big boy that's going to bypass us.

Asteroid DA14 is due to fly past Earth in a few hours. It's 50 metres across and will pass just 17,100 miles above our heads. Although there is no danger of a collision, it's still passing much closer than any other known asteroid and closer than many man made satellites.

NASA will be doing a live stream of the asteroid as it passes us by, so don't despair if it won't be visible from your area. The stream will begin at 19:00 GMT/14:00 EST/11:00 PST. You'll be able to watch it here:

Worse than ignorance is willful ignorance.

There's no point in talking to someone whose mind is so closed.
