POPSSurvey says... I actually laughed out loud when my boss relayed this to me. Maybe I need more coffee... :lol:

POPSGay British Soldier on the cover of British Army Magazine more: Let us hope we achieve the same success soon. The arguments about troop morale, already quite evidently manifest codswallop , are just laughable when the British military has 10 years of convincing evidence to the contrary. There is no intellectual honesty in the unit cohesion argument anymore, if there ever was; only bigotry.

POPSCould Earth Be Hit, Like Jupiter Just Was? "Small risk" "Billions of years ago, impacts were far more common. Our moon retains a record of the pummeling it and Earth took: the moon's craters remain, while on Earth, most scars of ancient impacts have been folded back into the planet or weathered away. Today's solar system is far less crowded, and in fact Jupiter, having more mass and gravity, scoops up a lot of the dangerous objects, as does the sun. Currently just one NEO of all the objects scientists are tracking poses any significant chance of hitting the Earth — 2007 VK184. If this roughly 425-foot-wide (130 meters) asteroid hit our planet, it would strike with an energy of roughly 150 million tons of TNT, or more than 10,000 times that of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima."

POPSObama Is An Alien "It's the same psy-op as the people who claim that Obama was born in Kenya," he explained between legal consultations regarding the lawsuit over his last investigation: "You give people just enough truth to think they're onto something, and then they'll gladly pull the wool over their own eyes because they think they're being revolutionary. And they're the worst counter-revolutionaries of all."

POPSMeet The New Witch of Wookey Hole more: I am on top of the moon. This is a natural step up from my current job. You need witchy skills to sell houses at the moment.” The broomstick was passed by Jane Brenner, Wookey’s witch for the past six years. Mrs Brenner said: “We didn’t want anyone who would scare the children. We wanted a good witch to meet and greet people and act as an ambassador for the attraction. This isn’t just a cushy job.” The contenders were whittled down from 300 to a final 15 who included a photographer, a dive master, an aromatherapist, a local journalist, a tattooist and a stonemason.

POPS"'Junk science' as front-page fact" more (full at source): In a lecture entitled The Three Wise Monkeys and the Marketplace of Ideas: Censorship in a Free Society , Lord Justice Sedley pointed to a story published this summer that reported as a fact that kidney stones affected one adult male in four – “a level of risk which might well send you to your doctor for preventive treatment, but which, it turns out, was made up by the PR firm which represents a pharmaceutical company with an interest in such treatment”.

POPSChiropracters - Help or Snake-Oil I've met people who adamantly support chiropractors. I went to one 15-20 years ago and can't say he did much good. I've become more skeptical over the years. I've become especially skeptical over the ones who dabble in such disproven scams as homeopathy and reflexology. IMO, they all should be required to warn their patients that the placebo effect is alive and well, thank you.
