I'm not sure why I'm so fascinated by the Scientologists, but...
So these people really are true-blue kooks.
And THAT's the stuff they'll tell you for free!!1
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

They were trying to discover the origins of the universe? You're kidding me, right? It would have been a lot cheaper to read "Genesis", the first book in the Bible.

This goes back to that article about illiterate Americans, since scientific illiteracy seems to be encouraged in certain sections of this country.
ION, I love this cartoon about SD O'Connor's resigning from the SC.

Actually, if you read that whole letter at MSN, I think the point of it was the money could be better spent healing and feeding people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that's true. My editing made that person look worse. But still, the part I quoted is Wrong like a Wrong Thing that's accepted without question....

As opposed to the way much larger sums of money being spent to kill folks in Iraq?
The thing about spending money on pure science is that you can rarely predict where things might lead, and an awful lot of beneficial stuff has come from the side tracks of such research.
