Been using a gym, and trying to gain a few kilos of weight. I've changed my programme as advised (started doing slightly fewer reps of heavier weights, allowing plenty of time for rest, etc.) and having some success, but slowly. I eat a reasonably good diet (including a 3 or four portions of...

FYI http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/09/27/mouse.brain.map.reut/index.html My first thought was "wtf" - but apparently their brains and ours are more similar than I figured. No wonder I love running through the hallways looking for large slabs of food. :)

LA Times article. annual sales: 23 billion cost of long-term studies: hundreds of millions profiting from the ignorance of consumers: priceless

So I'm attempting on and off to argue with someone about the benefits of medical science, both now and through history. Though an atheist and otherwise rational, she has a grudge against scientists, and especially doctors and other medical scientists, and against science in general. I can't...

"There is no evidence of a clear benefit to health from fats which are commonly found in oily fish, researchers say." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4838086.stm Am I being stupid here or is this bad reporting or even bad science? The report says that they "found no evidence the fats offered...

Anyone have any information on soy milk? I hear/read all kinds of different things about it. My wife and I are thinking of trying soy milk as a substitue for cow milk, because it seems healthier. I am not sure it is though. The milk packaging says it's got no cholesterol like whole milk - but...

Taken from CNNews: If seeing ghosts and apparations means you can't be a security guard may be other types of employment should be included... :)

Okay, so I'm cynical about celebrities lately but I think rightfully so. We're seeing people doing benefits and talking about doing benefits and it's painted as a big sacrifice on their part and I don't get it. It seems like it doesn't cost them anything overall and in fact it helps them. It...

THE British coffee industry launched a campaign today to counter confusion about the benefits of the popular drink. The British Coffee Association (BCA), which represents coffee manufacturers in the UK, said it wanted to raise awareness of the health benefits of coffee. It said the majority...

Haven't you ever heard that when the argument comes up, that the defensive response is... that government workers are paid less than what they could earn in the private sector? Ya, right. Well if that is true, I say let them all go out there and compete with one another over those supposed...

Ok, my wife informed me that the paper is actually on Alt. Med on animals, not just homeopathy. She has the common misconception that homeopathy is synonymous with alternative medicine. Anyway, now I guess the scope of the paper changes to a wider spectrum. Anyone know of alt med studies on...

I know it's sheer quackery, but my wife is at a community college taking courses to become an vetrinary assistant. Anyway, she's been assigned to write a report on "the benefits" of homeopathy on animals. So, she is going to write all about how homeopathy is based on nonsense and is quackery...

I heard about this on the radio this morning, so I went and Googled. It appears that there are actually a few seperate studies, and they all sound like pretty crappy conjecture blown out of proportion by the media. I haven't read the actual reports, and doubt I have the knowledge to interpret...

Is this real or a distortion? It basically says that a 25 year old woman in Berlin faces having her unemployment benefits cut unless she agrees to take a job as a prostitute. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/30/wgerm30.xml

Sitting here wading through reams of spam-mail, I realise I don't know the answer to several very simple questions. Are there real companies selling real products behind all the offers of cheap loans and prescription drugs? I think I am right in saying that there is a market in validated...

Is religion such a bad thing? Yes, there are millions of people who are lied to and even fleeced or killed, but consider the alternative. Without a perception of some ultimate overseeing authority (which would be absent in today's society if there were no religion), would the world descend into...
