Math geek types might not want to look at this, as your heads might explode: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Math (bigger image of book: [link]

What your math teacher didn't want you to know:
* Numerology is a fruitful research paradigm used by a growing number of scientists and mathematicians from all over the world
* Many prestigious mathematicians are beginning to question the relevance of Pythagoras' Theorem in geometry and are being censored by Pythagorists in government positions.
* 0.99999... isn't actually equal to one

Oh, and here's something from The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science.

Science is neutral, right?

Of course it’s reliable, based on fact, unprejudiced, and trustworthy, isn’t it? Well, guess again. A lot of what passes for science these days is pseudo-science, and a lot of scientific fact is hidden from public view because it’s not politically correct.

Science has been politicized—not by the Right, but by the Left, which sees global warming, Darwinism, stem cell research, and innumerable other issues as tools to advance its agenda (and in many cases expand the reach of government).

When liberals trot out scientists with white coats, debate is supposed to be silenced. But many of the high priests of science have something to hide—from blind intolerance of religion to jealous guarding of their federally financed research budgets.

Why don't they just come out and say that they want us all to live in the middle ages?

Amazing that a doing-good kind of place came up with a better salary. Gates money?

Well, I'm currently working on an environmental health journal (lots of green-karma points, not so much with the big bucks), so better's very much a relative thing. I don't know that Gates is involved. If he isn't, we'll need to look towards changing that.

And thanks, y'all!

Ah, got it. Good show!

Laura, of course it's about youyouyou! And why shouldn't it be??

Tommyrot, that's not humor? I think Colbert has skewed my scale.

Many happy returns of the day, Casper!

Tommyrot, that's not humor? I think Colbert has skewed my scale.

That was my hope, but sadly, no.

I'm pretty sure the math one is humor. The science one is real.

Oh, dear. Ernesto's projected path is pretty much all over Florida. I hope it disappates over Cuba, too.

The science thing that Tommyrot posted brings to mind Colbert's thing about reality having a strong liberal bias.

Oh yeah. The math one is not listed at the P.I.G. site: [link]

Bah. Maybe I should go back to bed.

Hil, assuming you're right, that's just not playing fair.
