Scientists create ‘fearless’ mouse
By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb — the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose — the researchers at the University of Tokyo were able to create a "fearless" mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators.
http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/11/scientists-create-fearless-mouse/ My question is this:
Could a similar technique be used to prevent the administration of the United States of America from attacking when they smell oil?

An apple a day...
I've often been annoyed that almost every package of food in the grocery store has a "Nutritional Facts" label; however, there's not one single drop of Nutritional information in the produce aisle. I certainly do not want every single apple to be packaged in a box or bag just so I can see the little Nutritional Facts table, but adding a little sign by the apples would be a nice touch. In my quest to see how healthy today's lunch is, I came across the coolest site that shows all sorts of info about the food you eat with really neat graphics that do a great job at communicating the Nutritional Facts visually. Here's the low-down on an average Apple -- www.nutritiondata.com . <img src="http://www.nutritiondata.com/images/help/nutrient-balance.jpg "><BR> <img src="http://www.nutritiondata.com/images/help/targetsample1.jpg ">

Learning about explosives is O.K. ... in the USA
I wonder how the exact same story would have been written up by the New York Times, had it been a camp for college-aged kids in Iraq? Hum.... Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/03/science/03boom.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin

Soybean
So I bet you've been wondering about soybean production in the Ottawa area... perhaps this will help: Ontario production by county: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/stats/crops/ctysoybeans05.htm and I just found out that a quarter or more of Ottawa's local production of food-grade soybeans (approx 100km radius, ontario side -- ixnay ebec-quay) is exported to Japan for tofu and other high-protein dishes: http://www.farmcentre.com/english/capital/capital_idea_23.php ( Note: Japan sends back robot chickens: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/video-segas-robot-chicken-storms-japan-250524.php )

20/20 vision
On around the 23rd, 1863 Confederate General Robert E. Lee wrote:"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I, in turn, will do my best for the Cause by writing editorials – after the fact."

Heck No!
It is now a well known fact that robots and the internet are taking over the world. Also, through my research it has become apparent that robots do, in fact, prefer techno to country, bee-bop, and/or punk.

A closed loop.
"Every sixty seconds, thirty acres of rain forest are destroyed in order to raise beef for fast-food restaurants that sell it to people, giving them strokes and heart attacks, which raise medical costs and insurance rates, providing insurance companies with more money to invest in large corporations that branch out further into the Third World so they can destroy more rain forests"
