Over the past couple of weeks, I've stashed away a few articles in the digital fridge that I had hoped to comment on. Since these things get stale and stink after a while, I thought I would get rid of them and start looking for fresher material. You may have run into some, or many of these, elsewhere by now:
Beware drunken, violent Finns. Or drunken violent anyone for than matter.
Polar bears not endangered. Obama administration decides not to use a false assertion as an excuse for carbon controls. Good on them.
Red meat has a calming effect. A good steak always makes me more contented.
If the FCC had regulated the Internet. Jack Shafer at Slate imagines how the internet would have grown with the FCC in charge.
Is gravity a mechanism for conservation of information? This is beyond my pay grade.
Man blames Tabasco spill for lewd acts on airplane. Yeah, sure...
Nine major stories nearly everyone got wrong. See #8 particularly.
94 Year old man claims to be world oldest father. Uh huh. Great beard, though. I can see why he's a chick magnet.
Kudzu and the Federal government. A lesson in unintended consequences. Like we need more.
Eight botched environmental predictions. You can't tell these guys they've been wrong before too often. If it can't be falsified, it's not science. If it is, it's wrong.
Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome an infectious disease? It came as quite a shock when ulcers turned out to be largely a bacterial disease as well. This could be a wonderful finding for millions of people.
Lunchbox mix-up leads to charges for Sanford student. If only zero tolerance policies were enforced on politicians. This one is still ongoing, and the politicians are becoming uncomfortable. Good.
Well, that should keep the mess in there down for a while.
