Top Ten Junk Science Moments for 2006

Yes, I'm a science nut. I love to learn FACTS about the world around me. I don't like lies. Scientist of this day have become puppets of society. True science is a slave to facts. I like this article about science gone wrong. You really have to read it first before you read this post.


1. Some Real Inconvenient Falsehood.
Just cause he "invented" the internet doesn't make Al Snore any smarter than the other dummies that believe that garbage about "Global Warming". I just moved to Maine. If there is Global Warming, I'm all for it. Please pass the aerosol can please.

2. Board of Health or Bored of Science?
Now who is pro life and who is pro choice? I happen to like trans-fats when I can get them and it's non of your business.

3. What Hurricane Season?
I know the drive by media was frothing at the mouth for another New Orleans type tragedy. NOAA said there was only a 5% chance of a below normal hurricane season. Well, if they were so wrong about what will happen this year, how in the name of Bugs Q. Bunny do they pertend to know anything about the future or even the unrecorded past?

4. Day of Reckoning for DDT Foes?
DDT or malaria carrying mosquitoes and starvation. Hmmm. This is a hard one Montey Hall. W.H.O. do you think you are?

5. Cosmic ray study fails to penetrate lead-lined media.
I mean look what they did to Ben Grimm.

6. Stem cell fraud and futility.
This is so typical of leftists. They mask their real goal with catch phrases and spokespeople so much that the truth is meaningless. I mean I liked Michael J. Fox as that Alex Keaton kid, but then I found out he really wasn't a Republican. He only played one on TV.

7. Low-fat diet myth busted.
Once again stay out my bed room and my kitchen.

8. Woodpecker Racket.
Ok. I've been preaching this for some time. We don't know what is even on our neighbor hoods, let alone the whole planet. It really is a big place. Also, one thing I learned in High School science is that you cannot prove a universal negative. When with scientist realize their arrogance makes them even more foolish. "A fool hath said in his heart there is no God."

9. Food police indict SpongeBob Squarepants.
Now these folks better stay away from Count Chocula, Franken-berry, and Boo Berry, 'Cause they'll Snap, Crackel, Pop their neck. I think their GRRRREat. Oh brother.....

10. California’s Not-so-deadly Air.
I think these Holly wood nut jobs deserve LA. They live on a different planet than you and me. I wish they would pool their money, buy a rocket ship, and move back home.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all. Praise the Father for his wonder gift to us through his Son, Jesus Christ who is worthy of all praise. Now that's a fact.

Backwards weather

Ok. Looking at this you'd think that the weather was switched around. Who says it's cold in Maine? It's colder in Kentucky today. So far all is well. I actually felt like I did some honest work today. Made a nice database design for a project. Hope it works out well.

The house. The house. Down stairs carpet gets put down tomorrow. Cabinets coming soon. Start the realestate agent on the job next week. Wohoo. Can't wait to get my family back together.

‘Living fossil’ rat caught on tape

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The first pictures showing a live specimen of a rodent species once thought to have been extinct for 11 million years have been taken by a retired Florida State University professor and a Thai wildlife biologist.

They took video and still photographs of the "living fossil," which looks like a small squirrel or tree shrew, in May during an expedition to central Laos near the Thai border.

Known as Diatomyidae, scientists have nicknamed it the Laotian rock rat. The creature is not really a rat but a member of a rodent family once known only from fossils.

You know "Scientist" really need to come to grips that they don't know everything. These dinosaurs they come up with are nothing more than another cyclops monster.

Per Wikipedia

Another possible origin for the Cyclops legend is that prehistoric dwarf elephant skulls - about twice the size of a human skull were found by the Greeks on Crete. Due to the large central nasal cavity (for the trunk) in the skull, it might have been believed that this was a large, single, eye-socket. The smaller, actual, eye-sockets are on the sides and, being very shallow, hardly noticeable as such. Given the paucity of experience that the locals likely had with living elephants, they were unlikely to recognize the skull for what it actually was.

Just as they couldn't locate this rodent, searching for God through science is just about as fuitless. Except for the fact that we can see what "God hath wrought".

In the "It's All Just An Accident" department

It takes time for everything, including what happens in the human body.

• Fingerprints form six to eight weeks before birth.
• Fingernails grow about four times faster than toenails - about .02 of an inch (0.05cm) per week.
• If a child below the age of 12 has their finger tips and nails severed above the first crease of the first joint, they can regenerate. Regeneration takes about eleven weeks. Adults do not have this ability.
• At the time of birth, the human female possesses 400,000 egg cells in both ovaries. Of these, only about 480 may ovulate during her entire reproductive life. And of these, only five per cent or so will be fertilised. On average, it takes 72 seconds for a mature egg to be pushed out of the ovary. The fertilised egg remains within the oviduct for about three days before it enters the uterus.
• In the testes of the normal human male, a thousand sperm cells are produced every second. It takes about two months to manufacture a fully mature sperm cell. After ejaculation, the sperm swim for the egg cell at the speed of 15 cm (5.91 inches) per hour. This is the equivalent of a human swimmer covering about twelve metres per second. Sperm reach the fertilisation site in about 50 minutes and remain alive for roughly two days.
• The amniotic fluid that surrounds the embryo and fetus during development is anything but a stagnant pool. While over 98 per cent of it is water, between one and two per cent is made up of substances such as fetal hair, skin cells, enzymes, urea, glucose, hormones, and lipids. It is constantly and completely replaced about every three hours.
• In the fetal brain, nerve cells develop at an average rate of more than 250,000 per minute. At birth, a child's brain contains close to a trillion nerve cells. After birth, this rate of neuron growth slows down dramatically.
• Taste buds are among the earliest sense organs to appear in the fetus. By the third trimester of pregnancy, fetal taste buds are responsive to chemicals in the amniotic fluid. The life-span of a taste bud cell is about 10.5 days.
• Twins are born, on average, 19 days earlier than singletons. Their larger combined size stretches their mother's uterine muscles, causing earlier contractions which push the twins out (there’s an old joke: A mother-to-be carrying twins doesn't give birth for 60 years! When doctors check her out with ultrasound, they find two little old men inside saying over and over to each other: "After you").
• A lactating mother produces about three pints of milk every day. Even so, if milk is not continuously removed from a mother's breasts, the ability to continue secreting milk is lost within one or two weeks. However, if the mother continues to have her breasts stimulated, milk production can continue for several years. Milk begins to flow within 30 seconds after an infant begins to suckle. During this time, nerve signals move from the breast through the spinal cord and then to the brain. The brain then secretes the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin travels through the bloodstream back to the breasts where it causes milk to be released.
• On average, nerve regeneration takes four to six weeks.
• Gums are renewed every one to two weeks.
• Eyelashes, which are more plentiful on the upper eyelid than on the lower eyelid, are shed continuously. Each of the more than 200 hairs per eye lasts from three to five months.
• The vibrations in the air constitute sound waves. The higher the pitch, the greater the frequency or cycles per second. Adults can detect sound waves that have a frequency between about 16 and about 20,000 cycles per second. Yet they hear best at frequencies ranging from about 1,000 to 2,000 cycles per second. Children hear higher-pitched notes better than adults. After puberty, this sensitivity declines at the same time as the voice deepens. Thus, our ears are best adapted to the pitch or sound frequencies of human conversation.
• The ability of the brain to detect the location of a sound depends on the differences in the time of the arrival of the sound to the two ears. We can detect the source of a sound even if it arrives in one ear a hundredth of a second before it gets to the other.
• The body loses water through the skin (from simple diffusion) at the rate of half a litre per day. The body loses about the same amount of water each day from the lungs - in breath. A breath lasts about five seconds. Inhaling takes about two seconds, exhaling about three.
