POPSBotulism "Fun Facts" in time for the holidays "Those bacteria also prefer alkaline environments, so the most common canned-food culprits are low-acid foods such as asparagus, lima beans, green beans, corn, meats, fish, and poultry. How toxic is it? A little over a pound of botulin is enough to kill every human on Earth."

POPSGreenpeace shifting focus to dialogue in anti-whaling campaign
Whaling is a barbaric murderous business and besides the moral implications of killing our friends, great beautiful, graceful, air-breathing, large-brained, socially sophisticated, singing, communicating animals, whaling is just contributing to the more dangerous human impact on killing the oceans. When we finish killing the oceans thru our pollutions and overfishing, we'll be dead. Brutal humanity is disgusting to some of us but not apparently to some here in this forum (Japan Today) and in Japan, Iceland and Norway. Thank the Sea Gods for Sea Shepherd and Capt. Paul Watson who will be In the Southern Ocean aboard the "Steve Irwin" to confront the Whalers again. I have no quarrel with Greenpeace, corporate PR is their forte and they have the $$ for it and they weren't all that effective stopping the whalers anyway, just taking pictures and grandstanding in style, which is OK--it brought some attention to whaling but I have much more respect for Capt. Watson and his dedicated crew in

POPSUrban Myths about Viruses... What?!? Doesn't anyone read scientific journals/reporting any more. Viruses wrap up in fats to ride out cold weather outside or at high altitude. They catch a ride on a water molecule (whether water or ice). They end up on your coat, head, hands, mouth, eyes, etc. Once the temperature increases, they 'thaw' out and become 'active'. Learn more by looking at my clip about how the flu can make you fat. Enjoy! Certainly, trading viruses with your friends, family, and colleagues is common. Additionally, you are more likely to catch what other people have if you breathing the same air. However, most viral infections start as an invasion from outside the body.

POPSSeadevils and Species Unknown "It was stranger than any imagination could have conceived," he wrote in "Half Mile Down" (Harcourt Brace, 1934). "I would focus on some one creature and just as its outlines began to be distinct on my retina, some brilliant, animated comet or constellation would rush across the small arc of my submarine heaven and every sense would be distracted, and my eyes would involuntarily shift to this new wonder." Beebe sketched some of the creatures, because no camera of the day was able to withstand the rigors of the deep and record the nuances of this cornucopia of astonishments. Colleagues reacted coolly. Some accused Beebe of exaggeration. One reviewer suggested that his heavy breathing had fogged the window of the submarine vessel, distorting the undersea views. More at source.

POPS"We ate (human) flesh to survive" continues: Famished and dehydrated They tried to sustain themselves on rain and seawater as they bobbed for days on the open waters, far off their original course. Famished and dehydrated, the survivors watched migrant after migrant die, each time dutifully waiting 15 to 20 minutes before throwing the body overboard. Eating those who perished was not an idea that came easily, the recuperating fisherman said. "But imagine, 15 days without food, without water. I'm a sailor, a fisherman — they were all yelling at me to do something," he said. "I always try to be prepared, so I had brought my knife along," he said. "We hadn't brought food because it was supposed to be a quick trip. We had nothing to eat. We had to eat him, to save our own lives." Maria Marizan and other migrants from the Dominican Republic know just how dangerous it can be to make the 160-mile journey across the Mona Passage to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

POPSOprah's Vote Didn't Count! Not that it is of any surprise to many of us, just that the more people who are public figures that see this for themselves and have a stage with which to bring it to the rest of the US, the better chance for something to finally be done to stop this nonsense!

POPSStar Restaurateur Becomes Marathoner I really enjoyed this mini-profile of Joe Bastianich, the business partner to chef Mario Batali. After years of eating at Batali's pace (and gaining 45 pounds), he decided to train for a marathon. While he could manage the grueling training schedule, he just couldn't give up his favorite foods. So his marathon "diet" has included rib-eyes, cured pork jowl and wine. Would you run a marathon if it meant you could still indulge in a few vices?

POPSObama's Trip to Hawaii, Birth Certificate in Question A democrat lawyer Phil Berg raised the issue which has now turned red hot. Is Obama a legal U.S. citizen, per documented authentic records, as required by the Constitution for the office of President, or not? A simple but important question that deserves a clear an verifiable answer. But attempts to do so have been blocked. Why? The truth is in Hawaii. Why did Obama really go to Hawaii? Really, to visit an ailing grandmother (undisclosed illness) in the middle of the campaign of his life? She knows about his birth, and likely has records and documents. Is Obama scrambling to establish legal cover? Obama was born in Kenya (which is why Jerome Corsi went there to investigate) but a birth certificate posted by the campaign has one from Hawaii, which the democrat lawyer Phil Berg is fake, and will lead to a constitutional crisis, even if he were elected. Now World Net Daily, Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh of talk radio have finally
