I know I can out-troll anybody. Watch this!...

"Professor Dunning is quite confident in the results of the study." (Paraphrased...sorta)

In h*ll you have Chinese wife, American food, and Japanese house.

People are more comfortable if they see some bit of outside. I'd suggest at least a sky-light(s) of some kind on the ceiling. It can be closed up or have a haze layer drawn over it if the sun is too direct.

How are we supposed to see the gremlins?

Have...Scotty...beam...them...inside!

To make more browser security holes for anti-malware scanning software makers to get rich from. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Next question?

Oh sh8t, we are....Creationists!? See, there is a Creator, and we are him (or her).

Great point. Heart disease, diabetes, etc. are not "news". New risks are news by definition, and that's why they are covered in "the news".

If you want to read about diabetes, read "the olds" (AKA archives), not "the news". Thus, in the ebola case, "the news" are mostly doing their jobs. If you don't want to see "the news", but "the olds" instead, then don't fricken read/watch the news.

Maybe The Olds need catchier theme songs or voicings to make them more appealing. "Important things you already know about, but for...got [dramatic pause]. We'll help you remember this very important old information. The Olds![TM] Get it now, or, die of the known! The choice is yours and yours alone! [cue intense music]"

I say go ahead and let it into the science textbooks. However, require that they present only scientific evidence, rather than "Holy Book X said so". The result will be blank page. Let them stare at their blank page. It may wake them up.

If they want to create a "criticism of natural selection" section, I'm perfectly okay with that also. Science involves criticism. But, it should be made clear that gaps in evidence for NS is not automatically evidence for C. "Unknown" is "unknown". The default to a mystery is "unknown", not NS nor C. This "default" issue is often addressed incorrectly as a false dichotomy.

For example, the relatively sudden appearance of so many phyla in the "Cambrian explosion" is a legitimate mystery. So many phyla appearing almost completely without any (established) fossil history is solid puzzle. However, I don't fill in the blank with "god-did-it", but rather a "?", as it should be.

But China is also getting all the bad sides of de-regulation: pollution, poor and unsafe working conditions, long work hours, growing inequality, and crony-capitalism. It's kind of like the USA during the late 1800's when the down-sides of unfettered big business started growing to extremes.

Let's just hope that the Chinese never find life on another planet, because the first thing they'll do is eat it!

LOL! If this remark doesn't end up +5, I'm gonna eat slashdot (please, no Dice-already-has jokes).

Seriously, Chinese are obsessed with food and cooking. It seems almost half their conversations are about food. (I took Chinese language courses once.)

Maybe that's a good thing. In the US we typically ignore food until we are really hungry, then grab a quick Greaseburger to satisfy our hunger. It's not working well. Planning may do us better.

Chicago Tribune link not working for me. I get an ad with darkened article in background, but when I click the close button, it goes to a different article.

Paper and land-line calls subject to fraud also. It's how Steve Jobs got started.
