Hey There- Just found this little gem of a website/forum and loved it. So, I decided to sign up. I actually found it while searching if Bologna would ruin car paint to debunk an argument. I really got interested in the site when I saw that Chuck fellows argument about the "Hiroshima Hoax". I had some good arguments to bring from my military schooling and ordnance background. Then, I realized it was closed, and he was banned. Oh, well. Here I am. I love science, and learning anything. I have no real science background (other than what I learned in school as a kid). My wife is going to school to be a general prac. so I get to listen in on her homework and studi…

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090406102555.htm A new process for liberating hydrogen and oxygen from water has been developed, using heat and light as its power sources. Unlike the previous process I posted, this one results in hydrogen, not methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas.

this might appear to be a pointless exercise and that's because it probably is but what is the largest number of google results that you can get using any possible input. i get 21,8 billion results with number 1, beat that!

Hi, I'm about to enter the job market for the first time. I've done many procedures but I've been through so many academic labs that I don't feel I have been able to concentrate enough in any one thing. Plus most of my recent experience has been in dry lab theoretical settings rather than actual wetwork. I wanted to know what you guys thought about my 'work in progress' resume and any general suggestions you might have to help ease me into getting my first career. Thanks. PS Sorry for the formatting. The uploading program is acting funky. http://picasaweb.google.com/genericperson12/Album#5322105148741738482

I was walking back from uni about half an hour ago, when I passed somekids loitering on the road. They seemed to be mouthing off and shouting at passers by, and one of them was throwing this pack of bin bags across the road. I couldn't really tell what they were saying, but the kid with the bin bags seemed to single me out and started throwing them at me. He tried twice and missed. I thought about doing something, but the thought just kept going through my head that I didn't want a physical confrontation. That could only lead to trouble for me, and I didn't really know what I could say to them, so instead I just totally avoided them and ignored them. The kid was prett…

I came across an interesting research on the harmful effects of yellow light of CFLs. Guess it’s time for us to move to LED lamps as they are not only good for eyes but energy efficient too. I would love to share a new study lamp launched by BPL that is certified by Sankara Nethralaya-India’s foremost eye hospital. Check it out at: http://www.studylite.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=25&cid=cm

President Obama will spend billions of tax dollars on education, which is a good thing for american kids. Will federal, and local governments provide jobs to these future graduates? Private companies' responsiblity is to their share holders and they will send jobs to the lowest bidding country were the labour is much cheaper leaving many americans with degrees and on welfare. Is this a good investment of billons or a waste?

I had to abandon my password recently for an account of mine after realizing too many people know it Anyone know any good passwords? just post whatever passwords you use and I'll pick the best one The reason I can't find a good one is because I like them to be comfortable to write quickly, having a similar amount of letters from each side of the keyboard, etc, etc, etc.

http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/03/23/carbon-dioxide-fuel.html Pretty nifty... with the application of titanium oxide these nanotubes can convert CO2 into methane using sunlight as a power source. Of course, algae do a pretty good job of turning sunlight into fuel too, and they're a lot easier to make than carbon nanotubes The process is obviously carbon neutral, although methane is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2. Hopefully it will get burned cleanly and completely.

v7Cn_gjevik http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/03/youtube_has_banned_the_james_r.php YouTube has banned the James Randi Educational Foundation!?!? This is Insane!

Go to the bottom right of the page and click "New Issue." Then, file a report asking that the account of the James Randi Educational Foundation be reopened.

April Fools day and all... Google has been known for pulling elaborate pranks. This year they claim to have invented a strong AI system which passes the Turing Test. They named it "CADIE": http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/landing/cadie/index.html One of the first things you discover about CADIE is, well... CADIE loves pandas. CADIE has taken Google and turned it into a Geocities-style repository of panda love: http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/ CADIE is apparently responsible for all sorts of strange new Google technologies: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html http://www.google.com/mobile/default/brainsearch.html http://www.go…

What's up with Kara? If Ellen is the fifth, what's going on with her? During Chief's flashback on Earth, it looked like a lot more than 12 cylon models. Theories anyone? Maybe all but the 12 were destroyed in the attack. Ellen said everything was in place to download. Maybe they were the first to be reborn.

I never really see women in science these days. From being at my college for over two years, I've only come across one woman who explicitly stated she was a science major. Now, I don't know about other countries and nations, but I'm still thinking America has that science vs. art gap it did in the past decades. I like to think about the past, in terms of how girls didn't really mess with video games, technology, and more because it was a "guy thing." However, I do see more women messing with technology, science, and more. Yet I don't see many women taking it up as a career. I continue to see women with interests in psychology, business, and nursing. Albeit, nursin…

Sorry, I just read this, and realized how daft it sounds, when there's a pseudoscience and speculations forum on here...'yes...on a daily basis yer fool.' Of course, what I meant, was outside of these wonderful forums.
