  • Boy he looks like such a hateful Atheist!

  • wobbling jell ftw!

  • Nature is nothing else then a huge set of symbiotic methods. Every organism depends on every organism.

  • wobbling jelly right...

  • Well.... also they are good climbers to!....I have seen them climb up my six foot lime tree and also they were seen on the second floor in a flat!

  • i do agree, its a put on smart voice

    a tad annoying in my opinion, but its just an opinion

  • i just noticed that i was not the only one to make this comment about that womans voice. glad to see its not just me! again, get rid of her!

  • How can you study a general fact in experimental science?

    The only way I know of is to make lots of special case experiments and then use statistics.

    If you want to know how ants behave you'll have to test each species seperately. (if you mix them up they'll just kill each other)

    Give me one "very general currently necessary fact we need" that isn't being researched already.

    I forgot to mention how cheap PHD students are in my other post. (in many countries they're free)

  • Yes, researchers do come extremely cheap.

    Sure, there's some lucky professors in the ivy league, in private sectors or working with the military who get fat cheques.

    You'll find that the average researcher gets screwed if you factor in the 8+ years of university etc.

    There's plenty of stories about PHDs becoming plumbers & such to make more money.

    I'm exagerating things a bit because here in Italy the situation is a lot worse than in the US, but researchersdon't have private jets there either.
