Making the world safe from feminism. Some days I just want to kill myself.
The Concerned "Women" for America have attacked the Girl Scouts
for apparently trying to make feminist lesbians out of girls.
At least, that's how they portray it.

David Pescovitz:
Two scientists propose that the first case of mad cow disease may have
been caused by human remains in the animals' food. Alan Colchester of
the University of Kent and Nancy Colchester of the University of
Edinburgh published their findings in the current issue of medical
journal The Lancet. From News@Nature:
(The researchers) point out that during the 1960s and
1970s Britain imported hundreds of thousands of tonnes of whole and
crushed bones and animal carcasses. These were used for fertilizer and
to feed livestock.
Nearly 50% of these imports came from
Bangladesh, where peasants gathering animal materials may have also
picked up human remains, the researchers say...
Religious
customs in Bangladesh and surrounding areas mean that many corpses are
disposed of in rivers. People may have collected remnants from such
bodies when foraging for animal carcasses, the Colchesters argue in The
Lancet. Any prions in these corpses might then have caused mad cow
disease.

There is a hot spot on one of Saturn's moons which should not be there and has yet to be explained, scientists say.
The two most popular explanations
are decaying radioactive materials, or friction from gravitational
tides. Neither hypothesis fits all the facts.
And why is the hot spot at the pole? The poles of all planets are cooler than the equator.
