- US presidential candidate McCain could be bad news for government science research funding. (Thanks, hotphysicsboy.)
- Spooked businessman flees ‘haunted’ mansion. (Thanks, Emory.)
- Here’s something a bit different: from a Buddhist philosophy blog, The Sciences, the Humanities, and the Human Imagination. (Oh, and he mentions Doctor Who, too.)
- Inside the vaccine and autism scare.
Why are haunted residences always mansions? Why can’t there be a haunted duplex that I could actually afford to go test out?
@Ooxman: I’m sure there are a number of “haunted” duplexes and houses that are not mansions, it’s just that mansions tend to be much more impressive and therefore a bigger draw.
Lets see McCain needs 304 billion more dollars for his budget (not including bailout money) and since he actually believes all education and science are the sole property of the bible. Without raising taxes one can guess were he intends to get the money.
@killyosaur42:
I figured it was because the dead have good taste in real estate… but I suppose your answer is semi-logical as well.
I had a haunted bathroom in my old apartment.
Srsly.
i mean, as if we needed another reason to NOT vote for mccain. this guy just keeps them coming. sigh
that’s funny i thought a lot more people on this siter would be a little more outraged about the potential insane lack of funding in science. i guess it’s more fun to argue about compassion lol.
@Kaylia Marie
what are you waiting for? go collect Randi’s million!
@hotphysicsboy: The cat won’t testify.
My wife is expecting a baby (our first) in February. I don’t even know yet if we’re having a boy or a girl, but I already know we’re getting it vaccinated.
I am a dirty self-linker.
Also, we find out what it is tomorrow, so I guess I could have just waited until then.
