This is one of those studies that we're constantly going to hear about in ads for a couple of decades to come and then somebody tries to replicate it and doesn't get a statistically significant result. I bet this gene lets us use 10.1% of our brains or something, right? 1.29%. You have got to be kidding.
a) The "only use 10%" meme is a myth.
b) There's a difference between "big effect" and "statistically significant effect".
It's not all lattes and coding in pajamas, though. If there's a glitch in a program's codes, Mr. Hilkert might be up past midnight searching for solutions.
Oh, the Humanity! Up past midnight looking for a bug in a program!
I had the misfortune at dinner last night of sitting next to a table of obvious Fox News addicts, and hearing them compete to see who could get in the most talking points.
and presumably take the fact that they fit so perfectly into the fossil record without a trace of scientific incongruity as evidence that their deity is almighty and powerful enough to fake evidence really well.
An eye for detail is what distinguishes a truly great artist. Adds depth to his creations, so to speak.
Rumor has it that his next one is going to be in 3D.
It shows you just how isolated they are. Any other country wanting to build a rocket to send a satellite into space could build on the 100+ years of research and development done by the rest of the world.
It's not like nobody else ever has a launch failure anymore.
I think the solution to this problem is to ignore bomb threats when you have every reason to believe that they are fake.
Suppose you're sitting in a lecture, and the campus cops tap on the door to interrupt, and say "There's another bomb threat. You can evacuate or ignore it, at your choice."

....... it didn't happen!! :D
Yeah, the authors were probably diluted.
I only RTFAs to find out how high the waves were - it turns out they were up to 29.1 meters (95.5 feet).
And rouge!
Just sailor's stories and nothing more.
All fanciful tales at best, lies at worst.
Sorry, but the Kraken got the guy with the camera.
Outlaw them and put out a bounty (or a Bounty?)
Better yet, patent them.
I don't know about that worst job. I mean, I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK.
Yeah, I thought I saw you in a bar last weekend.

Being a GW denier is silly.
Why, exactly? Becuase you and a bunch of other morons say its real?
No, because 99.9% of the scientists in relevant fields say the evidence supports it.
*My* opinion on GW, vaccinations, dark matter, etc. don't matter in the least. Listen to the experts.
Propaganda works.

Yet, for some reason, computers and electronics will start working better when I get close to them.
Wow - you *are* magical. For most of us, they stop working right when we get close to them.
I disagree with that claim, but it certainly is real hard to keep your brain in rational mode.
Everyone can clearly see how foolish everyone else's religion is. For some reason not many can turn the same critical eye on their own.
Indeed - atheism being the classic example of this
Most foolish of all is the belief that opting out of religion is a religion.
Is that the person responsible for safeguarding Victoria's secret?

I'll happily take some elephant worshipers over these psycho zombie worshiping cannibals.
Dude, zombies are cool these days. Don't you ever watch television?
Yeah, every religion is going to seem wacky to outsiders, but..

I mean seriously, why would God create a brilliant analytical brain, only to shun its use?
Probably the same reason He created fossils for dinosaurs that never actually existed.
I've never seen that word before...
I almost always write it that way, and when the spell-checker flags it I have genuine difficulty finding out what's wrong with it.
he who is without sin cast the first stone yada yada...
That's what Jesus said just before throwing a rock throw the moneychangers' window, right?
I'd hate to work in the control room for that spoiled brat.
Heads are gonna roll, insulting the supreme leader with a failure.
Just tell him that he was seeing the simultaneous launch of celebratory fireworks.

The Iranians are Shia Muslims, the Saudis are Sunnis, the two hate each other with the passion you often find in long running sectarian conflicts.
By some accounts, the strife in Syria is a proxy for a general sectarian war.

What do you do?
If they want to complain, they should be complaining about IP law rather than companies that use it as (apparently) intended.
And no, Honeywell isn't worse than a patent troll. I might have a teardrop or two of sympathy for Nest, if not for the overblown rhetoric.
... is apparently that 'man made global warming' is real.
Unfortunately, this isn't the case.
Yes, of course. We should dismiss the near-unanimous opinion of qualified scientists, in favor of the opinion of an A/C.
