I havent been able to get to work this week cos of the snow.. so I have had a little extra time just idling and surfing. I picked this up from the website of the Independent, and must say it is nothing if not controversial and flies in the face of everything I have been brought up to know of evolution of our species.. so much sounds bollox to me yet oddly has a kind of perverse logic.

You of all people, Fran, post this? I just snorted coffee at my computer monitor and wonders if government funding paid for the study of his theories.

Kanzanawa has long been considered a quack and fraud in the scientific community.

Quack, Fraud, Pseudo-science, mumbo-jumbo etc are acceptable in this case.
I doubt strongly that anyone in the scientific community proper would accept him as one of their own. In my book the words 'science' and 'economics' are mutually exclusive.

Steady on ladies. Remember that this is Britain. The answer to be given is that 'we've had a flurry or two' and it is bracing.
In Newcastle upon Tyne they wander around in T-shirts. Here in London, I stepped outside to feed the birds wearing only a skimpy thong and sandals.

It was 79F today in Florida!
High tomorrow's gonna be 65, though. My brother in law will be wearing his long-johns!

So you'd think I was nuts having a snow bath then?
Balancing a couple of snow flakes on my nipples; mamelons pert, mais mes organes génitaux avaient disparu
Trying to stimulate my circulation. Didn't half hurt
I thought for a moment about the sailors lost in arctic seas and what a painful death it must have been. I had already encountered Antarctic temperatures. The pain goes right to the bones. It's when the pain goes that the danger is supposed to follow.

Well, I think you hit the nail on the head with your choice of the word perverse. I really liked what he had to say in number ten. What a croque o' crap. I don't want to be sexist so I'll harass women at work. wtf? How about, I don't subject men to abusive, intimidating and degrading treatment at work, so I won't do that to women either? I must admit, I like the idea that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives. I've always thought that. (BiCycler dons a firesuit and awaits the flame back on that last one : ):flag2::rainbow:
