In your kitchen, as in other places in the house, if something never finds its place, its proper home, consider how much you really need it. It might subliminally be telling you to release it into the wild. The cumin crisis that started it all I'm really not joking when …

I am not sure that I agree with that doctrine, but from where we are in our discussion, let's go with it. As we know, Aspies are, by nature, more egocentric than your average Joe or Jane. It's not that we think we are more valuable, important, unique - insert pompous …

These ideas led Nobel Prize-winning physicist …

The quintessence of bollocks. All the surgeons I know share poky offices in Portakabins.

Yep, instead of reporting on each other, our country's patriots clogged his tattle-tale tip line with garbage. That is not just a plus--it's a patriotic plus. Instead of indulging in the very worst behavior in a time that screams for unity--narcing on each other--Americans chose instead to ridicule and annoy …

Many contemporary skeptics in science are also materialists. If materialism is based on a leap of faith, then shouldn't a true skeptic be skeptical of materialism?
