I have a dream. I want to see the Genetic Omni-Dominance guy and John Titor, Time Traveler get together and have a conversation. I think it would be cosmic.
This is controversial stuff, too…should I be teaching it in my classes?

I've been tagged with a teaching meme: I'm supposed to answer the question, "Why do you teach and why is academic freedom critical to that effort?". We science types are late to the game; there are already several examples online, mostly from those humanities people.
First, I'll be forthright in…
It never fails. During particularly stressful times, I tend to have nightmares. (In fact, sometimes I don't even really know how stressed I am until I start having recurring nightmares.) They were especially prevalent during my third-year review year, during a hiring mess a while back, and then…
John McCain recently spoke out on evolution and ID. He just managed to demonstrate that he's a dissembling fool.
Responding to a question about a report that he thinks "intelligent design" should be taught in schools, the senator mocked the idea that American young people were so delicate and…
One of the weirder experiences I had at the Nordita Workshop for Science Writers a couple of weeks ago was having people ask me "How are you so productive?" (or the equivalent). That caught me off guard, because I don't feel like I'm especially productive-- in fact, I tend to feel like I'm falling…
They could discuss the Time Cube.
Hah! I was going to suggest above, but dorkafork beat me to it. And now I need an aspirin just from the thought...
Yes! Intarweb nutters! I love the Timecube website. That guy could keep me entertained for days.
ugh, ouch. Timecube.
Damn that hurt. WAY too early for the timecube
"Can you tear and burn the bible, which
represents Biblistic Selfnic Bastardism -
contradicted by Cubic Creation of Family
and Village Tribal Perpetual Bodies. If
not, you are self-indicted as DUMB and
EVIL SPINELESS WORD ANIMAL,
totally ignorant of Nature's Cubic Life. "
....Biblistic Selnic Bastardism....
Hey! Watch that talkin' smack about the Timecube! I emailed that guy a few years ago, I wish I'd kept the reply.
It consisted of "You don't want to understand!"
But I do... I do!
Now look what you've done with your linkage - you've brought the poor guy's site down!
Thanks for the publicity. I've removed the big gif.
But, gosh, Mr. Science, I'd like to know your opinion of the relevance of the evolution of virulence via horizontal transmission. Does it apply to multinational peripatetic human cultures?
Just kidding. I don't expect you to understand such a kooky question filled with my idiosyncratic neologisms.
Congratulations on your press coverage.
I'd rather see the Timecube guy have a conversation with this guy: http://www.johnellis.com/home.html
"Most VITAMINS, OXYGEN and BODY ELECTRIC PRODUCTS CAN'T WORK optimally without the ELECTRONS found in CHARGED WATER!!
YOU are ELECTRONS...along with FOOD, WATER and AIR... NO WONDER people get such AMAZING results!! With OXYGEN dropping from 38% to as low as 8%, it's causing BIG problems!! However, most people don't realize it until it's TOO LATE!!"
Spooky. You know, when you rotate your monitor, and look at the TimeCube pages from the back, you can't see them?
I'm pretty sure this means something. Time to write up a theory...
(Heads off to sharpen his crayons...)
"You asked about the North Polar ice pack. I never said the environment wasn't a problem. Doesn't water expand when it freezes? If the polar ice cap melted, wouldn't sea level go down? I don't know if there's enough ice for this to make a difference and I'm not an expert on global warming." John Titor, Time Traveler website (2036 timeline)
I'm putting that on my final exam in science methods - "Explain the problems with this statement." That's my elementary science methods class, btw.

To our considerable disgust, Discover mag recently carried a full-page ad from John Ellis. I think we shall be allowing our sub to expire this year....
(Really should make time to send a letter to the editor telling them off)
Help, guys! I'm having a bit of an acid flashback - the text on the Time Cube website refuses to stop shifting size and colour, and its meaning is constantly teetering on the edge of revelation.
Oh wait, it's a load of badly-formatted bollocks.
As you were...
