Excavating random links

Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries, according to HumanEvents.com (leading the Conservative movement since 1944). Surprisingly, Darwin didn't make the list... but "The Kinsey Report" did. Logical fallacies unsue!
Caffeine: A User's Guide to Getting Optimally Wired. Oh, and coffee protects your brain from the cholesterol onslaught.
Speaking of which, apparently Britons were healthier in medieval times, thanks to the low dietary cholesterol. According to a pharmacy chain who opened a history book and guesstimated the nutrient distribution. And the 8 hours of exercise per day. And disregarded things like lifespan, sanitation, infectious disease, etc.
Scientific support for one of my favorite sayings: "Men have two brains, but only enough blood for one to work at a time."
Ben Stein's "Expelled" is getting pulled from theaters because the makers plagiarized a cellular animation produced by Harvard University. I'm sure this will only serve to further convince IDiots that scientists are OUT TO GET THEM!
Because, of course, they are.
*sporfle*
PS - Dick-to-the-Dawk-to-the-PhD rolled his D&D char:
Richard Dawkins
22th-Level Evolutionary Biologist
Lawful Neutral Human
Strength: 12
Dexterity: 13
Constitution: 10
Intelligence: 18
Wisdom: 22
Charisma: 25
Special Abilities: Spell Resistance Infinite (because magic is not real).
All Cleric-Priest within 60 feet gain 2 negate levels due to logical paradox.
Special Equipment: Spectacles of Trueseeing (always sees things as they really are).
