...that some quasi-religious nuts were collecting fingernail clippings because they believe that hangnails have souls and giving them a religious burial. Would this outrage you? Would you go running to the press complaining about the cult of the cuticle being insensitive to your feelings? You wouldn't. You'd just laugh it off. If those wackos want […]
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is donating $750 million for infant vaccinations.
An anonymous article on the U.N. officials and their "humanitarian" work in the wake of the south asian tsunami just shows how useless Jan Englund and his bunch are. What really irritated me was a scene I witnessed in the Lincoln’s wardroom a few days ago. I went in for breakfast as I usually do, […]

Scientific American has an article on real-world quantum cryptography. It's an interesting article for anyone who's ever had an interest in cryptography. Unfortunately, Scientific American's explanation for the process of quantum cryptography is a little hard to understand. If you're looking for a good book on the subject, I heartly endorse Simon Singh's "The Code […]
