Sounds like woo woo hogwash, but this is really cool: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11544353 Bacteria do communicate with each other. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this before, so I had to share. I'm not sure if it is spelled out online, but I saw the person who coined the term...

So out of the 43 presidents; listed are the top 19 (Not necissarily the best 19 but the most known 19 for good or bad, I had to include Bush to see if anyone would vote for him), of the Presidents listed, which U.S. President did the best job?

I have to say, as a gun owner and military firearms collector, I was confused by Ted Zumbo's comments. Still, the backlash looked as silly as something Michael Moore would have exaggerated. His folly was simply not clarifying what he was referring to: small, semi-auto rifles of intermediate...

I want to start a South African skeptical community. Or at least somewhere where we can join resources on all things skeptical in South Africa. I'm not aware of something like that yet, so if there is, please point me in the right direction so that I can help out. If not, please go to...

Ex-Muslims Apologies if it has been mentioned before, a search didn't find it. I don't think I've ever run into something similar. Also their forum has many interesting discussions.

More proof how serious America is about battling Islamists in the ME. Army dismisses gay Arabic linguist Thanks to Bin Laden, and those guys in the revival of Mame, America is doomed.

I think community service is an excellent way to show inmates that there are more constructive ways of spending their time. It gives them a sense of worth, exercise and fresh air and it's very helpful to the community. http://mainejobs.mainetoday.com/newsresources/051009inmates.shtml

I learned for the first time, yesterday, while shopping at K-Mart..............the checkout lady asks me, "Are you over 18? I think you are, but I had to ask", as she chuckles. I said, "Why, couldn't I buy razor blades if I weren't?", jokingly asking this. And then she goes, "That's exactly...

Anyone who thinks that all the findings of the Hockey Stick study are adequately replicated should read this, a fact based web page with links to the sources of what the scientists are actually saying in response to the Congressional inquiry...

I'm reading a very interesting book on sprawl and I'm yet again thinking about moving into DC. I currently live in Reston, which is a very nice planned community. Very nice, meaning lots of trees, walking paths, public pools, and lots of restrictions on what you can build. So, my question and...

If any of you are looking for a some good cheap entertainment, you might look for a Community Concert organization in your area. They provide average to excellent concerts at dirt cheap prices - less than $10 a show. I just found about Community Concerts a year ago. It was an nationwide...

Apparently the "bigfoot hunters" on the west coast of the US consider the "bigfoot hunters" on the east coast to be amateurs. They just won’t take them seriously. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63477-2004Sep30.html I must confess, I don't take them seriously either.....

Ok, I seem to be a voice in the wilderness here. I personally conclude that JREF needs a community of small folk, so to speak, as well as superstars, in order to succeed in its stated goals. The question is: Do you think JREF needs grassroots support. Yes or No. Feel free to say why if you want.

I usually don't post much on forums, but after reading through some of your responses, I thought I would share my story to the public here, and how much "clear thinking" meant to me. First of all, I am a diagnosed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder sufferer. My "obsession" was the whole idea of The...
