The comments (below that) article are good for a laff as well.

I think Webster's dictionary should reference them under the title;
'irony'.

[AstralTraveller]

Some of the comments prove that this is no joke!

[glend]

The election campaign is proof enough...;)

That's a classic. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

And there's not even antibiotics for these... :lol:

More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. Those are some of the telling figures that emerged from Nature's survey of 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility in research.

Just for your information from well known Nature magazine:

No wander science moved to dark side !

He he he... So damn true. Got plenty of them in Canberra as well. :D

When I first saw this film, I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or shoot myself... Horrors upon horrors.... I agree with you!:eyepop:

[jwheel69]

I would have to agree with you on this.

If only we should be so lucky!

I'll be surprised if we get to the end of the year without this global proxy war raging at the moment escalating to an all out WW3 scenario. The BRICS' are trying to opt out of the mathematical absurdity of the world financial system. The puppeteers at the BIS (Bank of International Settlements) have responded by using the western (allied) countries in an attempt to bring them back under heel but in such a way that there is NO retreat option. Much like Sun Tzu's concept of placing one’s soldiers on “death’s ground” perhaps adequately illustrated by the situation faced by the troops at Normandy, you either fight and win or you accept complete economic annihilation.
Unfortunately, the other side is in the same predicament in as much as they cannot back down and survive... meaning; global conflict is pretty much assured.
This is as dangerous a time as Sarajevo circa June 1914... actually, worse.


Anyhoo...
In the mean time, here's some funny cat videos.

But isn't that the scientific method at work? Metastudies and the ability to reproduce results are far better indicators of the truth, than one single study. But that doesn't work for science reporters who constantly need the next big discovery.

[BilliGoatsGruff]

Hooray for funny cats! This makes me think of the time our cat got his head stuck in the handle of a shopping bag and took off like he had a fire cracker up his rear. I couldn't stop laughing, which resulted in me getting scolded by my not so amused partner.

On the positive I do believe we live in times where more folk have a better grasp on facts.
Certainly we can joke about the nutters etc but go back a century or two pre the notion of evolution and the belief the world was only 6000 years old.
Superstition ruled perhaps through an absence of fact as opposed to any rejection of same.
What I was able to come to grips with by exposure to someone who believed tarot cards worked was this persons reality worked on the basis tarot cards REALLY worked.
He really believed they worked. And yet this chap was very clever and extremely competent.
He could repair anything, cars, tv, mechanical or electrical.
Most of us dont get to see this close up and I found it most difficult to understand until I just accepted to him the stuff I see as nonsence was as real as the setting Sun.
I dont think its a new strain in fact I doubt any such research took place.

I visit another forum and there is achap there who beieves in ghosts and ufos, he sounds crazy but is well spoken and would pass as very inteligent if he did not mention ghosts or ufos.
But he believes and wont have it that photos are faked or folk lie about what they see...
Its all too much.
But I dont buy the finding of a new strain of fact resistance humans.. They have always been with us.
