Yes it may be just semantics but that how crap like (as stated in original post) aromatherapy get started and millions of people get scammed. And odor or a smell does not do anything harmful of beneficial. Some less well equiped readers may make the connection: if there are harmful odors then there must be some beneficial ones thus aromatherapy is good. I read that on/..
If you are not careful a lot of beliefs can be (and have) started by extension of misused concepts and passed as truth. Call me a semantic nazi but next time you work on a set of requirements for a customer remember this discussion.
I'm sorry but... How can an odor be toxic? Toxic fumes OK I can parse that but an odor? Next you'll be peddling aromatherapy.
Keep science clean please.
I didn't read your post but it seems to cover a lot of knowledge about religion. All I want to know is: which one has the best imaginary friend?
Yes I'm trolling here but aren't all religions the same? Convince people that you are the messenger from a deity and make them do whatever you want. Substitue any value of "deity" and "whatever" and you pretty much cover all of the religions in the world. Even the endoctrination (brainwashing) methods are the same everywhere: Get a large group together and have them repeat your matras long enough that they stop questioning them. I guess my point here is that all religions and their methods of propagation are the same. Oh and their usefulness is also the same and left as an exercize for the reader.
All your recording are belong to moi.
Yes I've read the article and know what the real recording is.
On another topic; isn't what the french guy complaining similar in nature with what we're seeing still to this day with IP lawsuits and such. Isn't that one of the first case of "prior art" ? He invented capturing the sound waves on a medium and while he had not yet found a way to play it back it could have come to him at some point or another.
"It's harmless stuff"
NO it is not Harmless; a lot of these charlatans do give medical advices as well and divert people from seeking medical help. When the tarot cards tell your girfriend that her cancer will reced by itself if she drinke some vibrating mineral water you might start being concerned. Anybody supporting or tolerating that crap is contributing to the numerous scams and harmful effects perpetrated by unsrupulous people wanting to make a few buck without working for it. Get a clue at the JREF.

Actually you should read the entire site, I'm sure you'll feel much better afterward
OK, I am going to sue whomever is responsible for this discovery. They are messing with my horoscope and now my fate will be influenced by Xena.
I better hurry too before some Russian lady beats me to it.

Am I the only one wondering how a "policeman" is qualified to evaluate the quality of the documentation as being Doctoral level research?
But the main question is: will they have a "I'm feeling lucky button?"
Am I the only one thinking the if those moron bigots want to protect their children they should not let them play games that have a "Mature" rating?

I heard they scratched the project.
Nah that should be: "In Soviet Canada, the Robot assembles you."

Fictional, like any other god for that mater, not just the Greek and Roman ones.
