John Stewart vs CNBC

Ali — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:24:41 +0000

John Stewart from the Daily show invited Rick Santelli from CNBC (financial network) to the Daily show. He canceled and or as John puts it “bailed out” but John showed their special segment about CNBC’s mistakes anyway (watch it here). Jim Cramer from CNBC wrote an article and his article made John to respond on Monday’s show and all the other shows of this week so far and it became an “anchor WAR!”.
Watch the first segment and then watch “in Cramer we Trust” bellow. Watch the rest of this series here and here. Tonight Jim Cramer will be on the Daily show, looking forward to it…

Teaching Creationism in Germany

Ali — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:46:49 +0000

A friend of mine send me a video documentary in YouTube (Von Göttern und Designern, Christlicher Fundamentalismus part 1) about a School in Germany in which they teach “Intelligent Design” in parallel to Evolution theory. Although they teach both “theories” to children the school teacher says that he believes in creationism and as a result influences the opinion of the students. Unfortunately the Documentary is only in German so if you can understand German here is the first part of it.
The funniest (or the saddest) part of it is about a Museum in the US where in an interview one of the museum workers explains that “the Dianasours were vegetarian in Heaven and used their teeth and nails to pick and eat heavenly fruits!”.
Yesterday I also read PZ Myers post about the Gaurdian’s article on British creationism, it seems that they are invading Europe seriously.
If you watch the documentary and/or read the Gaurdian’s paper and need to cool down you can do so by watching “Creationism: A Cautionary Tale” from atheristcartoons.com.

Palin-”Sarkozy” disscussion

Ali — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:05:01 +0000

Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.
While discussing a hunting trip together by a helicopter, the comedian said:

“I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun,”

Even after this exaggerated comment Sarah Palin didn’t recognized that this cannot be the french president until he introduced himself!
After telling the governer about the prank he finished by saying this sentence:

If one voice can change the world for Obama, a Viagra can change the world for McCain!

Listen to this hilarious prank call here.

Moment of Zen

Also watch VP’s Troopers & Practical Jokes. “Sarah Palin would love nothing more than to superficially answer all of our shouted questions, but she doesn’t have time.”

That is called a collaboration!

A colleague of mine was searching for an article in Pubmed today and because of typing mistake she found this article. This is an article in Physics Journal (PDF original paper), and the reason I’m writing about it is the number of authors (I did not count but definitely more than 200 authors) and these authors are are from 74 institutions. I don’t know anything about the field of this paper but as a biochemist this number of authors was funny and surprising for me!
