...of course you were, and very humourously at that.
It may not be a majority, but I do know that some people might not know the juicy details related to your concern over having a bulky chip under your forehead.
It's a popular belief among Christians that the RFID chip might be the fulfillment of a prophecy in Revelation 13 about the Mark of the Beast--a mark which, according to the prophecy, is received on the right hand or forehead and is required in order to buy or sell anything. Same passage as the infamous 666:
Revelation 13:16-18
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

You linked to mailinator. You can use http://www.mailinator.net/ to receive mail without "sacrificing your privacy". Seems like you didn't realize that though.
Based on that testing, the Department, in cooperation with the GPO,
will include an anti-skimming material in the front cover and spine of
the electronic passport that will mitigate the threat of skimming from
distances beyond the ten centimeters prescribed by the ISO 14443
technology, as long as the passport book is closed or nearly closed.
I wonder if a sail (ala radiometer vanes) that size would really move a car that size. A smaller sail would receive less energy, so in spite of your car being smaller, your sail is also smaller. Why not just attach a large solar sail to a regular sized car and see what happens? Only the proportion changes.
Yeah, seems rather unlikely that they'd be left armed in captivity--unless the dolphins were actually being trained at the time that they got away. Obviously they weren't *on patrol* with live weapons.
Probably the navy's main concern in recovery is all the investment that would be lost were the dolphins not recovered.
Chinese and many other civilizations have flood stories.

You're right: Who the hell knows. It's a question of faith.
If you believed that the earth is only 6000 years old, you might have to recognize that we're making a mess of things and that even with all our wonderful science and discoveries we're actually only worsening things. And nobody likes to believe that. That's just grim.
Your science books were probably wrong. Did you really descend from that hairy creature you described? That's a very popular belief these days, only because it's propagated by the educational system. Man descended from monkeys? Please. I think you need to delve into the sources of the material you so unquestioningly swallowed before spouting trash about the history of man as a species.
Please. This lemming suicide business is a popular myth--the first obvious sign of ignorance in the article.
One must consider all the implications when tinkering with genetic modifications. I believe that nature is delicately balanced, and it would be very difficult to change one thing without affecting another. How can one know for sure that we're taking all affected elements into the picture when we make genetic modifications?
How would you control the separation between the "suburban Doug fir" trees and the regular ones? What about any animals that naturally eat grass and suddenly come across the modified standard length grass? It's impossible to predict with our current level of understanding.
Science must first better understand nature and how everything is interconnected before we can begin tinkering with the genetics. It's not all about aesthetics or the consumers or the "right tree". There are also future generations to consider.
Let's work on the basics first, then we can start fooling around. Yeah?
Erm, well, I guess we've already been fooling around, huh? And we have cancer.:)

Apparently, they are planning on including anti-skimming material.

Another alternative is the implantable RFID microchip: VeriChip".
