Catnmus Contemplates Science : Wherein I post my thoughts on science topics of the day. Dedicated to my late Sylvie-puss, who was fascinated with gravity - pretty much every day she'd test to see if it was still working by batting something off a table or a counter or a dresser.

You know you need a laugh after all that

So here it is - your laugh of the day.  Remember that wacky cult that claimed in 2004 that they had successfully impregnated six women with cloned babies?  And remember the recently-disgraced South Korean that claimed to have created multiple embryonic stem cell lines through cloning?  Well, guess what cult company just offered what so-called researcher a job.  Three guesses and the first two don't count.

Sounds like a match made in heaven to me!


9:54:18 PM    Here's what I have to say about THAT! []

Speaking of reproductive rights...

There was this article in the paper today, about the FDA supporting the sale of a diet pill over the counter.  The AP article says this:  "Alli would have half the dosage of Xenical but would be freely available for purchase by adults."

Read those last three words again.  "Purchase by adults."  The Bush administration should definitely not take the FDA's recommendation and should instead ban this drug from over-the-counter sales, don't you think?  After all, remember Plan B?  Drug store clerks are apparently completely incapable of checking IDs to ensure that this drug is not purchaseable by those under 18.  So therefore, this drug should not be approved for OTC sales, either.

Of course you know it will be.  After all, this pill has nothing to do with allowing women to protect themselves from getting pregnant, and plus, it's something that men can use as well.  Therefore, this drug will get approved for OTC sales.  Plan B, alas, won't get approved until we get this dick (actually, both of them) out of the White House.
