No Clones about it.

With the hubbub about stem cells and their miraculous health benefits it doesn't behoove you to lie about your findings. I personally would like to see more done with adult stem cells but some think only the infantile will do. Unfortunately for Hwang Woo-suk, lying about your findings isn't very helpful to prove your case.

In the experiment deemed fraudulent, Hwang had claimed in a paper published in May in the journal Science that he had created 11 colonies of human embryonic stem cells genetically matched to specific patients.

An investigative panel at the university reported last week that Hwang had faked the research on nine of the stem cell lines. On Thursday, it confirmed he also fabricated his research for the two remaining cell lines as well.

Now if the cloners want to get me behind them I think they need to get cloned love slaves that all look like Salma Hayek or Kate Beckinsale. Though that might take away from their enchanting character. Bah! foiled again.

Anthropology just isn't what it used to be

Apparently a once esteemed anthropologist lied about some of his findings. This is nothing new as some people just lie. Unfortunately many of today's anthropologists have been operating off this lie for some time.

"Anthropology is going to have to completely revise its picture of modern man between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago," said Thomas Terberger, the archaeologist who discovered the hoax.

Another thing of interest is at the bottom of the artical and they are listed as:

• Piltdown Man
• The devil's acheaologist
• Piltdown Turkey

No "allah" in your screen name.

Yes, that's right Yahoo will not allow the letter combination "allah". So if your last name happens to be Callahan then your screwed. If you want to have the screen name yahwehblowschucks then your find but no allah for you. As a Christian this upsets me as I have to put up with those kind of things all the time but some poor Muslim is offended. Frankly I’m offended as well. Difference is I don't threaten to blow up people.

This goes on to my point about all of these shenanigans. Yahoo has a problem as any other company who might make the same choice. If they try to cater to the few they will end up catering to the many and we will have all of us will have to have numbers for our login names at Yahoo. On the other hand if Yahoo is only catering to the Muslims do to threat of violence then that just means violence is a good way of changing public policy at Yahoo. Neither choice is good. The third options is to make it a limited free for all and then just put everyone in the same messed up shoes as my self or maybe the Buddhist or Hindus.
