"IT HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN"... I didn't look up the original reference.
"A DEFINITE TREND IS EVIDENT"... These data are practically meaningless.
"WHILE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS"... An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published.
"THREE OF THE SAMPLES WERE CHOSEN FOR DETAILED STUDY"... The other results didn't make any sense.
"TYPICAL RESULTS ARE SHOWN"... This is the prettiest graph.
"THESE RESULTS WILL BE IN A SUBSEQUENT REPORT"... I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded.
"IN MY EXPERIENCE"... Once
"IN CASE AFTER CASE"... Twice
"IN A SERIES OF CASES"... Thrice
"IT IS BELIEVED THAT"... I think.sciencebad.jpg
"IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT"... A couple of others think so, too.
"CORRECT WITHIN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE"... Wrong.
"ACCORD1NG TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS"... Rumor has it.
"A STATISTICALLY-ORIENTED PROJECTION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE FINDINGS"... A wild guess.
"A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF OBTAINABLE DATA"... Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over a glass of Mountain Dew.
"IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PHENOMENON OCCURS"... I don't understand it
"AFTER ADDITIONAL STUDY BY MY COLLEAGUES"... They don't understand it either.
"A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AREA FOR EXPLORATORY STUDY"... A totally useless topic selected by my committee.
"IT IS HOPED THAT THIS STUDY WILL STIMULATE FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN THIS FIELD"... I quit.

MAD CLOUD
My friend Ted and I ran into a cloud just like this over Tampa; and it most definitely spit us out!

REDEMPTION
"All that needs to done for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing".
This kind of a deep topic for this site but here goes:
After watching this video (and movies like Schindler's List) I often wonder how people could have let this kind of thing happen. As we know, in WWII people of Jewish faith, and others thought less desirable by the German government, were killed by the millions. Although I'm sure that there were many acts of courage that we will never know about.
Now flash forward to another point in time when Christians are being killed in India, Egypt, Iraq, Africa, the Philippines (as well as others countries in the south pacific)...the list goes on.
That time is now/ in our world!
In this country the attack against Christianity is much less harsh but it is there none the less. I watch a lot of science shows that often refer to Jesus Christ as a legend or just a man (simply put they say even if he existed that he was just a piece of history or fable).
"Scientist" say they "know" with absolute certainty the earth and universe is 5 billion or 6.2 billion years old and that life formed out of water that they "know" was brought to this planet by comets. Most scientist mock religion as blind faith or belief without proof, when they themselves believe in things they can't prove (proof and theory are different guys).
There is a series of books by Isaac Asimov in which science has become the only religion in society (The Foundation... I think this was a warning from Azimov). I believe that scientist today don't realize that this is the same trap they have fallen into.
I have a friend who recently stated on their website that the number of young people going to church is rapidly decreasing. I feel that much of what is turning them away from the church is TV. Why believe and have faith that God created the universe when Phil Plait (of Bad Astronomy) can tell you he didn't.
Sorry for the soapbox but sometimes I need to rant.
The video below this will make you smile so be sure to watch it!

YOU WILL SMILE WHILE WATCHING THIS... I PROMISE!
This guys name is Matt Harding. This is the fourth video of this kind he has made. He initially joked that it was a hoax but later recanted by saying that the hoax was a hoax. Visa and Stride Gum eventually funded his most recent trips (so says Wikipedia). I suppose that it really doesn't matter if it's real or not... it still makes you smile!
