Baby Clone a Hoax?
Is Clonaid full of it? Well, chances are yes. Let's see, a Doctor claiming to belong to an organization that can clone humans - however, their lab is a mystery, and so are their scientists. The Doctor is a Bishop in the Raelian movement (in case you've been living in a hole, that's a group of fruit cakes led by head cheese fruit that now goes by the name Rael and lives in Montreal - need I say more?) - they believe humans were made by aliens, and cloning will make us live forever. They won't let independent groups test the baby and parents. That alien thing ... I just can't get over the alien thing. I don't understand the head cheese's motivation for starting this nutty cult - what's in for him? Check out related news from BBC as well.
The first chef
First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...
