Panes of Glass

Dr. Marc Seigel (Cancer Chief) was on Fox & Friends this morning talking about the potential link between cell phone use and increased chances of cancer. The link actually exists between radio frequencies and cancer, but most people get high levels of radio frequencies from their cell phones. Very interesting to see how this develops.

Julie and I went to see Ben Stein’s Expelled tonight, and we both loved it. Expelled is perhaps the most entertaining film on science ever made. It was also very well balanced and thought provoking. Most interesting and entertaining of all was Richard Dawkins‘ (author of The God Delusion) admission towards the end of the film that a form of intelligent design (possibly aliens or Luke Skywalker’s great-great-grandchild) could be possible and that they really don’t know where life could have come from. (Another “scientist”’s assertion that life formed on the backs of crystals was a bit more ridiculous and entertaining.) (more…)

I have created a new game called Illogica. There is only one rule. You must abandon all reason. My friend Jeremy Pearce was not happy with this rule when I told him about my game. He told me that girls have an inherent advantage. I remained silent and did not get hit, slapped, or otherwise abused. Neither did Jeremy… at least not while I saw him in public. I think his wife Nancy might have got him good, though. I’ll have to ask the next time I see him. Anyway, let the games begin! The last person left making absurd statements wins!

I’ll start. During the “big bang”, one of two possibilities occurred:

1. Matter created itself into the universe we know today
2. Inertia decided, on its own, to fail for a split second and then decided never to do that again.

Have fun!
