Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

In case your bafflement included me, I never claimed that studying it baffles me. Talking about it as a discovery does. Also note that I wondered about the discrepancy between the paper itself and the article on it, hoping that the paper had a spin that the article lacked.

Oh. Okay.

But.... haven't we -- haven't you -- pretty firmly established right here in this thread that science reporting is crap these days? I would think you'd just take it as a given that any research paper actually has some spin that the article about it lacks.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises EVERYWHERE, beeyotch.

Heh, doubly funny if you can't hear lines from that in any voice other than (Jay Mohr's impression of) Christopher Walken's.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises EVERYWHERE, beeyotch.

One hippo all alone calls two hippos on the phone. Three hippos at the door bring along another four. Five hippos come overdressed, six hippos show up with a guest. Seven hippos arrive in a sack. Eight hippos sneak in the back. Nine hippos come to work. ALL THE HIPPOS GO BERSERK!!! All through the hippo night, hippos play with great delight. But at the hippo break of day, the hippos all must go away.

But I'm with Lee on some things don't need to be said on public TV by big name personalities.

I'ma gonna pop psychologize Baba and say that public breastfeeding makes her uncomfortable because she is harbouring guilty feelings about not being able to nurse her daughter because said daughter is adopted.
