A Danish "artist group" (whatever that is) has managed to get this advertisement printed in the state controlled newspaper Tehran Times in Iran. Under the picture of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad there are five sentences apparently supporting the official Iranian view of things. But if you look at the...

What Did You Do This Year to Deserve to Be Recognized as "Time's" Person of the Year? I didn't run anyone off the road who didn't deserve it, except for one time.

Not that this will shock the most conservative . . . The Difference Two Years Made On Tuesday, when this page runs the list of people it has endorsed for election, we will include no Republican Congressional candidates for the first time in our memory. Although Times editorials tend to agree...

From CNN.com: "An editorial to be published in an independent military publication Monday calls for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to be replaced. And the Pentagon is countering by saying the new 'chorus of criticism' is 'old news.'" This is the second time this publication has called for...

Every so often, when someone is ranting about belief, intelligence, etc., and I point out that Newton was a pretty smart believer, I often get something like 'Most everyone believed back then. His belief was a product of his times.' So, when they then go on about smart atheists today, why do...

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-endtimes22jun22,0,7902314.story?coll=la-home-headlines Excerpt: Jews, Xians, and Muslims, all laying the groundwork for their messiah. Is it just me, or will at least two (probably all three, but who's counting) of these groups at some point be sorely...

...er...eat fruit and veg that it :D (sorry for all you lured in under the false pretence of an interesting topic...) my question is a simple one....in the Uk we are told that we should eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day...but how is this calculated? can i sit here and eat a big bag of...

While doing the research for a story, I came across a webpage that lists many different prophecies about the Apocalyse. Most are typical preaching repent-ye-sinners drivel, but one stood out: the Hopi Prophecies. If they really have had these for centuries, and allowing for interpretation of...

The New York Times and the L.A. Times each have articles about "alternative" medicine, from Feb. 3rd and 4th, respectively. The L.A. Times story discusses a celebrity nutritionist named Feline Butcher.

A respectful bio of Klass and a mention of Randi as a debunker in www.nytimes.com/magazine

A couple of really silly nominations for the Person of the Year, 2005, in this week's Time magazine. Rudy Giuliani proposes Katrina, because, apparently, he's unaware that Katrina was not a real person. And Ted Turner proposes Bono, because, apparently, he's out of his mind. My nominee comes...

This is old. It wears its bias on its sleve. I am sure there are some errors. Military service is not any indication of patriotism. Failure to serve in the military is no indication of lack of ability to lead. This is just a list, offered for whatever anyone wants to make of it. Again, I...

from the last part of the story:

Earthquakes in China and Pakistan, tidal waves in Asia, floods in Louisiana, New Hampshire, Mexico, fires in California, do you non-believers need any more proof that God exists? Wars and pestilence hold sway over the earth Do you know now that you should repent and call Jesus into your heart...

Okay, so I'm starting to get freaked out. We're having record-breaking weather all over the place, we're having wars and rumours of wars, earthquakes, natural disasters like tsunamis, famines, nation rising against nation...everything that is said to be happen in the ET's is happening. How can...

Saint Malachi predicted that the new pope would be named Benedict XVI. He also predicted his own death right down to the day...how can that be refuted?

I heard this quip on a Danish TV station this evening: When astronauts are space-travelling, they are aging 10 times faster than when on Earth, partially due to the breakdown in bone tissue. Is this true? The astronauts going to Mars will age ten times the time it takes? What is that, 18 months...

How do I know? Simple. Pretend you are God. You created this whole world and everything in it, stationary and in motion, so that you can see what's going to happen. If you truly already knew what was going to happen, you would not have had the need to create it in the first place! Now that...

A colleague just handed this to me as an actual newspaper cutting. Now on the NHS - but does it work? I wish we had a few more articles like this. Rolfe.

Front page article in NY Times today blames series of mistakes all the way up to Rumsfeld for Abu Ghraib. Does Bush fire anyone for gross incompetence? No. He fires the competent ones who object to his policies: Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke, John Delillo. I'll bet dollars to donuts that Bill...

This movie has a mesage. I can totally imagin what it's like being a women. Like, what if Stacy had the baby instaed of aborting it? She never would of end up with Mark instaed of that PRICK. I'm totally for abortion rights now. God what if I nocked up a girl. I couldn't f-cking deal with...

Story Will the administration be issuing their own apology soon?

I must protest at the waste of a fine opportunity. Randi managed to use the following terms;- "rocks, fat, bananas, footballs, buffalos, and bottled bleach" in a sentence addressed to TV Astrologer Russell Grant, without actually applying any of them to Mr.Grant himself. This is making a...

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/FD29Dj01.html Come gather 'round people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a...

I note this forum uses the AM/PM method of displaying post times, rather than the much more sensible 24 hour clock. What happens at midnight and noon? Is midnight 12:00 AM or 12:00 PM ? Why?

When was the best and worst time to live in the Western world? Is today the best? Has life become consistently better over time? I've generally thought that life has tended to get better over time (with the occasional blip) but now I'm not so sure. For example : - The move from...

The Rapure Ready Board on the peekaboo booby (thanks to Iconoclast for bringing it to our attention in the other topic): http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?threadid=129685 Anyway, I thought I'd cross-post this link into its own topic for a hoot.

http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-ayurveda26jan26,1,7255200.story?coll=la-home-health Interesting article-registration required. I was not very familiar with Ayurveda in particular, but it seems to be making inroads here. I found the article more balanced than some- it mentioned some...

Oh, dear. . . Place your bets now on how soon the $cientologists will be doing this.
