I'm not sure what to make of this article. It claims that gays are created in the womb when the "gay genes" block testosterone from crossing the brain/body barrier. The site does not seem to be an Onionesque parody site, and if it is not, the researchers do have credentials, but still.... It...

Is anyone familiar with the machines that scan mircofilm and put the information in a PDF file? I've contacted a few libraries in Southern California (UCLA for example) to see if they have the means to do this, and have heard no replies. I have 3 full rolls of really rare information for 2...

Hi, Re the commentary on the 'products' available from this company - I've browsed their ebay store regularly - one of the funniest things I've ever seen. There are lots of different products - and the descriptions are sooo over the top - I can't help wondering if its deliberately satirical...

I’m hoping someone in the know can help me out. I’ve been asking questions about acute spinal cord ischemia brought on by a type b aortic dissection due to blunt trauma to the chest. The patient (my brother) is 32, and was in good health prior to a near fatal car accident on Halloween 2004...

Link to article Sorry about the entire article, they generally don't archive them though. What 'scientifically proven alternative therapies' are there? I think a letter to the editor is in order, and I cannot believe that there isn't more outcry over this.

I only remembered the other day that Richard Wiseman and an American investigator were going to run joint tests on their studies into whether people could detect they were being watched. I never heard what the outcome was; some vague reference to differences in the initial briefing. Can...

Check out this thread on Derren Brown's forum: www.derrenbrown.co.uk in General Chat Forum Tell me if I have mis-spoken or missed anything. Beyond that, since the fellow says he will no longer discuss it with me, perhaps someone else can chime in and get more info from him. Basically, he...

http://www.golden-dawn.org/ Get your on-line "astral initiation" into the world of "Enochian magic", "Qabalahian mysteries", and "Rosirucian research." Puzzling.

A friend of mine is extremely excited about a movie called "What the Bleep do we Know?" I haven't watched it, but he has described it to me. Immediately bells started going off. He thinks it is the be all, end all of movies. I've done a bit of research and discovered that one of...

I suppose this thread can be a nice educational resource into debunking the claims of homophobia. I'm looking for rather generalized information, which is any kind of serious research into some of the myths that demonize gay people. Examples: What is the average life expectancy, what is the...

Has anyone attempted to genetically engineer lab rats or other medical research subjects so that they have only the most rudimentary parts of the brain? They would have to be fed by machines, but perhaps they could have enough lower brain functioning to keep involuntary bodily functions...

Will this be big tobacco's final smoking gun?

Hi all, long time lurker, few times poster here. We are having a debate at my workplace about Yoga (two of my co-workers are attending a yoga class). They made various claims about yoga making it possible to "train your brain" to release stress and such things. My initial reaction was that this...

Anything of it peer-reviewed? Will appreciate any help thanks.

I have been chatting with a previously very depressed and social fobic girl who stopped taking her anti-depressants so she could be hypnotized by a healer. After her first visit at the healer she seems very happy and filled with confidence, which is a dramatic change. She still has two more...

I seem to remember reading some research done into NDEs in hospitals. The researchers placed an object on top of a cupboard in the operating theatre, anyone claiming a NDE or OOBE were asked to identify the object. Does anyone know where I can find more info on this experiment?

well, maybe a pep talk? I am in the process of revising a manuscript for publication, and i am trying to decide on several different paths. Good news is that the reviews were good, and only minor changes suggested. Bad news (but also, really, good news) is one of the reviewers pointed out a...

He has proof that the man known as "Abraham Lincoln" was actually either William Shakespeare or Sir Francis Bacon. Furthermore, this man known as the "Great Emancipator" definitely either did not free the slaves or did not intend to free the slaves or was secretly a member of the Democratic...

International Society for Paranormal Research http://www.ispr.net/ I found a video on sale for a few bucks from these people. Anyone know anything about them?

I have a bet going with a coworker and I have not been able to find out any official information. The bet is about something he claims to have heard on the radio around the time of the debate over whether to pass the $87 billion dollars. He claims that it nearly didn't pass due to the budget...

How many Popes have there been? I am on the Vatican site, and can't manage to locate this number... Do any of you have this number on cuff?

Out of my 1198-99 ASHRAE Journal (magazine for architects, mechanical contractors, university studies, etc.) If you can help figure outr solutions to posed problems/research projects...maybe you could get a grant for working on these. Here is a taste of some of the listed ones: "Moisture...

Article Government research tool MIT just launched a tool that citizens can use to research people in the US government. Haven't had time to investigate the tool, but from the article, it may turn out to be useful.:cool: On the other hand, it may end up being polluted with a lot of junk.

Blowed if I know where to put this now, so it's going here. We had a big discussion about tea around here a while back, and now there is some new research from the Royal Society of Chemistry into the matter, no doubt inspired by our discussion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3016342.stm

Does anyone have a cellular-enabled PDA/phone type thingy? I'm considering getting one, but I'd like some first-hand accounts of the data speed. Specifically, if anyone has ever run a terminal server client on one. Thanks. H.
