The Year in Ideas
Some Anonymous Dude writes "The NYTimes magazine reviews this year's great ideas including the anti-paparazzi flash, forehead billboards, scientific free-throw distraction, and why popcorn doesn't pop." From the intro: "Once we have thrown back all the innovations that don't meet our exacting standards, we find ourselves with the following alphabetical catch: 78 notions, big and small, grand and petty, serious and silly, ingenious and. . . well, whatever you call it when you tattoo an advertisement on your forehead for money."
That's an idea that has been around for ages. It's just that its proponents are far more organized now than they were years ago.
Sure, they are getting a lot of publicity and having some effect in certain areas, but then you have to consider which areas those are. Kansas isn't known as a hub of scientific discovery, for instance. It really doesn't matter what they want to believe. The world as a whole, including most Christians, see ID for the nonsense that it is.

Russel Stover makes those. The jelly falls short in freshness vs jelly from a big glass jar, IMO.

Did you try following the half dozen links on the linked page? Or the 'Go to the Issue' link? On that page there are some 50 or 60 links under the 'Year in Ideas' heading. Honestly, I can't believe you can miss a huge list like that...
Be a real patriot: Question authority. Think for yourself. Formulate your own conclusions.
Grammer tip: 'Effect' is used as a noun. 'Affect' is used as a verb.
Spelling tip: it's spelled 'grammar'.
Ah, yeah, remember In Vitro Meat? No? Neither did I. It's because that article was published the same day (Dec. 11th, 2005).
From the article: In July, scientists at the University of Maryland announced the development of bioengineering techniques that could be used to mass-produce a new food for public consumption: meat that is grown in incubators.
All of the "Year in Ideas" articles are dated today.

It's a hassle to me (takes time). BugMeNot takes less time, especially with the extension or bookmarklet installed, and I feel no guilt because the NYT would'nt've gotten real information anyway.
It's 'Grammar.'
And both things you say are wrong, as those words are both both verb and noun.
And, last but not least, everyone around here loves to pick on people who post about grammar and spelling.
Perhaps you're a grammar troll?
Although the moon is smaller than the earth, it is farther away.
Also, BugMeNot isn't reliable anymore. I've tried numerous free sites on it and it has been flooded with fake logins.
I guess Bugmenot just needs to make a verification script/zombie so the "fakes"
can be tossed in the bin .
