This is why I love science…
March 2nd, 2006 by Oskar Kennedy
… he said, with a sarcastic sneer.
I do love science, but science reporting sometimes drives me to drink until I can’t resist the urge strip naked, cover myself in maple syrup and start hurling profanity and small children at the Internet.
For instance, have you ever wondered why you sometimes jerk awake suddenly just as you’re about to drift off to sleep? I know I have. When I saw the lead to this story, I was compelled to read it, because it sounded like someone had come up with an explanation.
Nope. Not so much.
As it turns out, doctors and scientists are still absolutley clueless about the cause of this involuntary nocturnal spasm. The good news is, they’ve finally managed to name it. The phenomenon is now called “Sleep Start.” Which is good, because “Demons Possess Me When I Sleep” was factually and spiritually inaccurate, as well as a mouthful to say. Now that “Sleep Start” has standard nomenclature, I can go back to using the possession bit as the basis of an insanity plea, instead of wasting it on frivolous things like twitching myself out of bed once in awhile.
Secondary School Students In England To Study Creationism
March 10th, 2006 by Oskar Kennedy
BBC News is reporting on new curriculum guidelines that will require biology teachers to address the creationist perspective in a unit on fossilization.
The exam board that issued the new syllabus insists that they’re not teaching it as a scientific theory. If it’s not a scientific theory, why would it be a required topic for a science class? *sigh*
Bill Nye the Science Guy!
April 6th, 2006 by Oskar Kennedy
Some religious fundies walked out of a presentation during which Bill Nye criticized literal interpretations of the biblical creation story.
It’s good to know that their kids won’t learn reason or manners.
