GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE! NAO! WHERE ARE THE PILLZ ALREADY?
Not pills, certain types of light. Nighlight is about to take on a new meaning.

Speaking of gut bacteria

http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/11/18/244526773/gut-bacteria-might-guide-the-workings-of-our-minds

I haven't really had time to check it out thoroughly yet. The first guy they talk about sounds legit, but when I get to the autism/probiotics guy my red flags start a-waving.

PS my personal advice for building your microbes is eat lots of raw organic/wild fruits and vegetables, eat pickles, and don't be afraid to put things in your mouth. People are way too freaky about dirt.

Gonna try putting an impact wrench in my mouth tomorrow.  I will be a disease-fightin' fool.

Hahahaha, I love science-speak:

Comet ISON, Presumed Dead, Shows New Life
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/30/science/space/comet-presumed-dead-shows-new-life.html?_r=0

QuoteImages taken by spacecraft showed an increasingly bright point at the head of the comet. Dr. Battams said that current data could not offer a definitive answer, but it appeared Friday that part of ISON's nucleus was still holding together.

"It's definitely maybe alive," Dr. Battams said. "There's a strong definite chance it might be, may be alive."

Great ending! I still prefer the aquatic ape theory though.
Here is a very thorough critique
I haven't read most of it but it seems very thorough.
I know it is not common practice to post your opponents' arguments, but it seems right to me here because the aquatic ape is not commonly considered an acceptable theory.

It would be easier to not spittake and headdesk if the guy provided any evidence that primate/porcine crossfertilization could take place, let alone that the offspring of such a bizarre cross would be fertile.

Ooh I like it better that way anyhow. Proponents of a given idea are never to be fully trusted.

Hmm, in theory i agree but the aquatic ape book has a special place in my heart for some reason. Lets just leave it at that my opinion cannot be trusted when it comes to this subject. Except that i do think the aquatic ape is a good read.

Wouldn't the different number of chromosomes throw a wrench in the works? I must admit my knowledge of genetics is limited but i seem to remember that bit being important to meiosis.

Most of my shit is rusty, I'm just avoiding Quickbooks right now.

But I know bullshit when I smell it.  :lulz:

Seriously though, how did people get to demanding this kind of shit?
