First thought looking at the pic was: AMAZING!!!!
Second thought: what do the animal rights organizations have to say about this? Wouldn't mind knowing why these experiments weren't done with human volunteers instead of animals?
Water was just one instance. there's carbon and hydrogen and oxygen and helium and gold and silver and xenon and - you can include the whole list if you want.
It's everywhere, all around us. Yes, yes, even the mountains too.
yes no, anything and everything that exerts some kind of force on us impacts our lives in some way or another, however miniscule.
Maybe astrologers weren't the first to suggest it, but it's valid none-the-less.
The other celestial bodies: astrologers haven't. yet. but one day some punk-a$$ will wake up and say "Oh, NO WONDER we were wrong.. there's this blackhole we forgot to add to our charts that's throwing everything off balance"
two hundred and how-many million dollars?
only?
what is that, spare change?
Should I be impressed?
My problem is not how much money he dishes out, but who he gives it to; i.e. who gets to do the research?
For all I know, he could be having an affair with Britney Spears. And given it to her because she sweet-talked him into it. And then Britney could be the person in charge of Operation Eradicate-Malaria.
Whoopdidoo.
Didn't she say something about wanting to be an embassador?
I'd like to know who he's given it to and it'll be spent before I pat him on the head.
"as-yet unknown, unseen and apparently undetectable force"
Gravity is the basis of astrology. Much like the sun and moon control the tides on earth, so do the planets and stars. But they also manipulate the water molecules (humans are 75%(?) water) in our bodies. Similarly, electrical and magnetic fields (and electro-magnetic) to a lesser extent, from neighbouring celestial bodies also affects everyday life here on earth. A control of this "experiment" would be to remove all gravitational, electrical and magnetic forces from the earth and replay evolution. Life on earth would be very different from what it currently is.
"I get sick and tired of astrologers needlessly multiplying entities by making postulates that are not only patently untrue but useless and stupid anyway"
Ya me too. To date there hasn't been a single scientifically-backed comment made by astrologers anywhere that hasn't been labled as coincidence. Astrologers simply do not have the capacity to make any comments what-so-ever. Especially when new moons, stars, blackholes (etc.) are still being discovered. How reliable can these charts be...
Giving astrologers their due, they suggested that human nature is controlled by celestial bodies. But do they serve any other purpose? I think not.

And what of astrologers the world over. Apparently my governing planet is pluto and we scorpios like to fondle our dicks. What does a new moon mean?
