I would agree that HTML in email is excessive currently, but there is one aspect of it that you cannot do with plain text that is definitely nice. Highlighting of important concepts (as if the writer is using a yellow highlight pen.) This is the only thing that I would miss if I were forced to move away from HTML email, although I have used pine (and was happily content with it.) As for the ability to embed images and links and the ability to read java and javascript...pretty unecessary, IMO. Perhaps if you are writing a magazine-type email article, or are sending a greeting card. (Pretty useless for me, in other words, since I will never do either.) Give me only limited HTML. Perhaps only HTML v1.0.
Ok...but couldn't they have clouded water rather than using milk. Milk seems like it would alter the results (as someone else mentioned, most rats are lactose intolerant.) Still seems like a rigged experiment.
Why would scientists use milk instead of water, unless they wanted to alter the results of a study...maybe its the combination of drinking milk and cell phone radiation that makes you forget. Maybe they got a batch of genetically inferior rats...
Never believe a study unless it can be duplicated by others.
Actually the definition of half life is the "chance" that a given particle will decay. There is a "chance" that the particle will not decay. This chance doesn't prove the existance of time, on the other hand it shows that time is merely a measurement of the chain of events that lead up to the current Now. At any given Now, the decaying particle is in a given state. Noone knows the exact next state of that particle, because of this "chance". If they could quantifiably predict the next state, then an argument could be made for time existing...since they can't...time's existance can't be argued like that...

Last I checked it was around $20,000 US to file.
This doesn't mean it will be accepted...
