The latest issue of nature has a physics prof doing some good work to debunk astrology--although he failed to include the fact that Randi's done the same experiment. Or am I reading it wrong? http://membracid.wordpress.com/2007/05/31/astrology-in-the-classroom/

I've found some Penta (R) Water at my local Yoga Studio! They seem to have taken delivery of crates of the stuff, along with several flyers including "Penta (R) the Proof" or "H2Whoaaa!". Here's a clip from the leaflet: "The General Physics Institute, Russia, compared Penta water to...

I need an article from the Metabolism, Clinical and Experimental journal. Unfortunately it's a rather old one, from 1994, and is not available online. I also can't locate the specific journal in local libraries. If someone has easy access to it and it's not too much trouble...
