The company I work for had about a dozen 19" and larger they were throwing away. I intervened thinking somebody would want them. When a charity that puts together low end systems for needy children turned me down I gave up. The monitors went to a recycler. CRT monitors are officially not worth what it costs to move them.

Let's see...seven pounds of weight loss times 3500 cal/pound of fat = an average loss of 24500 calories. Divide by 12 weeks, and 7 days, and we get an average weight loss of about 290 calories per day. Not bad for one light exercise session daily, and still eating all the crap you normally eat if you ask me. I don't see the news in this.

Unfortunately a lot of science is dogmatic as well. If I were to claim that I invented a machine that produced more energy than I put in, would I get a fair hearing?

There is a difference between a theory that is rooted in dogma (ID), and a theory that is rooted in science (evolution) but often accepted dogmatically by the masses. And FWIW, Orbo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steorn) got a fair hearing, and failed at every step.

He who lives without folly is less wise than he believes.
