- The 15 Weirdest Science Stories of 2009
- Mechanism for placebo effect discovered. (From Steve.)
- Why do media report ‘the other side’ of scientific fact? (From Glenn.)
- Had enough Twilight parodies yet? Of course you haven’t! Here’s “If New Moon Was 10 Times Shorter” from Cracked and another rendition by lolcats. (First one from CrimsonBeard.)
You know that voice in your head that reads stuff to you? When you read lolcats, etc, does that voice sound like a 5 year old?
The 1st link gives a 404 error :(
@Aletheia: Sorry, HTML error. Thanks for the heads-up! It’s fixed now.
Teddy Bear placenta? What’s next? Abe Lincoln feces puppets! Ya gotta be kidding me on THAT one!
@infinitemonkey
Sometimes, yeah. ^_^
*mope*
My lolcat-reading voice is usually punctuated by hysterical laughter…
Posting the “two sides” of science article to my Face, sharing the Twilight with my like-minded co-worker. Score all around.
@infinitemonkey: I usually hear the voice of a twenty-something stoner. But that’s just me.
@Zapski:
Have you committed mopery?
It’s interesting that all of the dissenting comments on the MPR article are from one person, who starts off complaining that all of the dissenting comments have been “weeded out”.
So, while going through the 15 pages of the “15 Weirdest Science Stories of 2009”, there was an ad for a CD or DVD of “6 Ways to Win Any Argument.” I think it says something about my level of relationship cynicism that my first thought was “Possess vagina. Argue with someone who does not possess one. Eventually, they will get sick of it, and you will therefore win.”
I my experience, as a person without a vagina, talking with a person who does doesn’t make me sick. But maybe I just haven’t talked for long enough…
Thanks for the link, Jen — with a critical assist to Aletheia.
Mark, I’m sorry that Google ad on our site kicked off a burst of… whatever that was.
