bluevector writes "Electric Universe News is reporting that scientists claim to have proof that 'supernovae are catastrophic electrical discharges focused on a star' and not the result of giant stars undergoing gravitational collapse and subsequent explosion after having spent all of their nuclear fuel as previously thought."

    This article for me is the last straw when it comes to slashdot. The occasional duplicate I could live with. Then we started having articles from The Onion. Now we have articles from a crackpot website. Slashdot has just been deleted from my bookmarks.

    A lot of members of the Flat Earth Society are just evolutionists poking some fun at people defending religious doctrine, by defending an even more obsurd one. Which, I have to admit is a pretty good gag.

    Also counter-productive, since mockery of your rivals (are you listening, noodly appendage people?) is likely to only lead to your opponents strengthening their resolve against you. Therefore, "gags" like this are actually more damaging.
