Media storeys that make you go - WTF

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Elkaholics* anonymous, eh? :lol:

The easy way to make apple moose... :roll:

The moose never falls far from the tree...




* in the original English "moose" is elk and North American elk is wapiti.
(Moose is a word borrowed from the Algonquin by North Americans)


Mind you, moose bites can be nasty... :?

Wow, the protagonist of this story is named... wait for it... Per...JOHANSSON!!! :shock:

Let me guess, the drunken moose is named "Chris"?

I smell conspiracy (though it might just be the calvados speaking...)

There's stories that make you go WTF, there's stories that make you go WTF and reach for the nearest bong, and then there's Gordon Ramsay's Dwarf Porn Double Found Dead In A Badger Den. :shock:

Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Resigns Over Global Warming

The global warming theory left him out in the cold.

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that "global warming is occurring."

The official position of the American Physical Society (APS) supports the theory that man's actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.

Giaever does not agree -- and put it bluntly and succinctly in the subject line of his email, reprinted at Climate Depot, a website devoted to debunking the theory of man-made climate change.

"I resign from APS," Giaever wrote.

Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that "the evidence is incontrovertible."

"In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible?" he wrote in an email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society.


"Incontrovertible" MY SWEET ASS!!! Image

Stupid effing American Physical Society....

But thank God for folks like Dr. Giaever and thank God for this:
69 percent of those polled believe it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs. Just just 6 percent felt confident enough to report that such falsification was "not at all likely."
Folks are finally catching on! :thumbs:
