Iraq's missing nukes
OK. They must have had some. The CIA said so. George W. said so. George W.'s lap dog Blair said so. It must be so. So where is it? Maybe Saddam ordered them to be diluted in water, then used to wash his clothes (all he has to do is wash his clothes again, and instant nukes! Just like cocaine.). Or maybe Saddam ordered them disassembled and the smaller parts hidden in camels behinds. Who knows? Could be that Saddam couldn't actually build nukes. He definitely wanted to. But maybe he just got his ass kicked too many times and decided to fund terrorists instead. Who knows? Who knows as well why George W. is so hot and bothered about bombing him and not that North Korean twit. We know why Clinton wanted to bomb Saddam - his intentions were clear. Are George W.'s? Maybe every American president just needs an adversary to beat up on to make himself feel big, and Saddam just makes too good of a bad guy to pass up. Who knows? I just wish the media would stop using the word terror. It's not scary anymore.
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...
