- fhernand, on 10/10/2007, -47/+310"Bush is still president" is missing in that list
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -5/+113Thank you vroom101 for linking directly to the print page.
- wittyname, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1066. Viking's Methane. I immediately thought "the vikings knew about methane?"
- rohan2kool, on 10/10/2007, -2/+59things like these should make the front page.. even if for the 10th time or so rather than a story of an ugly pic of some nude celeb
- sakuraz, on 10/10/2007, -8/+65I still ask, "Where's Waldo?"
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -4/+51Your girlfriend does not count if her name ends in .jpg, .avi, .wmv, etc.
- MikeZila, on 10/10/2007, -1/+43.swf
I like em' interactive. - rompom7, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37A digg-user-has-no-girlfriend joke... NO WAI! You are the king of comedy.
- eric0213, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34He had to, otherwise it would be the exact same link as a site that made it to the front page 285 days ago.
http://digg.com/general_sciences/13_things_that_do_not_make_sense_6 - Soccer4786, on 10/10/2007, -11/+38This is the general science section, not political news. At least keep the Bush flaming out of here.
- Fungo, on 10/10/2007, -12/+38As is "Bush became president"
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -5/+27Nonsense, Flying Spaghetti Monster has only been believed in for a few years, and He makes perfect sense. J. R. "Bob" Dobbs confirms this.
- theclashrocker, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Knew about it?
I bet they let out a lot of it! - hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -11/+30One word: God.
God has been believed for 1000s of years and still makes no sense. - Myonosken, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20For ***** sakes, can I go into one section without your President's ***** not spilling over?
- BoneStamp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15One reason why it made the front page.
1. New to everyone who dugg it - 0260, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14good read
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -18/+32How many ***** times has this made the front page?
- Anub1s, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16That's rather simple, those of us with spouses don't spend our entire waking moments on the intardweb. Only those moments at work when we either don't want to do anything, or when there is nothing to do.
- UrinalPooper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16That's the 14th thing that didn't make sense.
- vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11When the NewScientist.com updates this list sometime in the year 2107, the article will be posted again on DIGG. At that time the list may have one new addition:
#14. Facebook.com -- gone! Myspace.com -- fuzzy memory! The venerable Slashdot.com -- relegated to the history books! Reddit.com -- faded away! DIGG.com -- ever young, ever energetic, clearly drinking from some unknown fountain-of-intertubical-youth -- still going strong after 100+ years!
And someone will ask: How many times has this list been on The Front Page in the last fifty years? - noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10...and number 2 went completely over your head. obviously the edges are 28 billion light years apart if the universe is 14 billion years old given that it's expanding from a central point. that's not what doesn't make sense. it's the uniformity of the microwave background radiation is what's puzzling. read this over a few times: "Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so there is no way heat radiation could have traveled between the two horizons to even out the hot and cold spots created in the big bang and leave the thermal equilibrium we see now."
- lead2thehead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Yes... and we'll continue to be baffled until somebody comes up with a unified theory of physics. Unfortunatly, that's going to take a little longer than 2 years.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor.
- mc7winkie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11I would probably say 9001, but maybe more.
- Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Que? That doesn't make sense..
Anyway, the placebo effect works for more than just morphine results. There was a double blind experiment a while ago that had to do with alcohol. Group A had alcohol and was told it was alcohol. Group B had alcohol and was told it was non-alcoholic beer. Group C had non-alcoholic beer and was told it was alcohol, and Group D was given non-alcoholic beer and was told it was non-alcoholic beer. The findings suggested(and quite obviously) that when the participants believed they were drinking alcohol, they acted much more...well, drunk. I don't know if there was a bio-chemical side to it...I don't think it was tested, actually, but it'd be interesting to find out. At the very least, the placebo effect has a definite psychological side and an evidently real biochemical side when dealing with morphine. - Zbrah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7 "I personally think we're all God"
No one has ever explained what they mean by that(to me). How does this make any sense -philosophically- in any logical spectrum of thinking?? - stefugee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7my little brother turned 7.
- androo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7elected in 04, took office in 05
- n3xu5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8The Chewbacca Defense.
- rolfeman02, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7The Niblonians caused the extra radiation as they were here 14 years before the beginning of the universe.
- georgiepiebob, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9shhh.. darkfire... keep ur logic out of here
- hiscity, on 10/10/2007, -0/+715. Why some people are bothered by articles they've seen before and then actually bother to gripe about them (adding to their discontent) rather than bury them -- all the while ignoring that the most often repeated comment is the gripe about previous postings. It's mystery, wrapped in an enigma, and hidden in a matryoshka doll.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7obviously the people who are studying care, which is more than who care about your pointless comment.
- XisZ, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11So i guess that would place Earth in the exact center of the Universe being that they are talking about the visible Universe.
- XisZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Well, even though they are microbes it's a pretty amazing thing in general being that it isn't of Earth.
And if science is right about anything- this might eventually lead up to visible beings in a few million years or so. On Mars that is. - noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7so please, from the wells of your vast knowledge, pull out a more apt description. oh wait, you can't? big surprise.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6just because things are beyond your ability to comprehend does not make them *****.
- walmartconnect, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Welcome to Digg, where no story is complete without the obligatory Bush bashing. Hurray.
- rick2k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Awesome post
- BowieX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Crazy conjecture: what if the universe isn't expanding away from itself, but is gravitating towards itself outwardly, as in, point A on the edge of an expanding sphere is in fact trying to get closer to point B on the diametrically opposite side of said sphere, and vice versa. I can't really get my head around what I'm saying, but point A and B would be theoretically adjacent, but for some reason, as observers, they are not.......? Hey, it's 3:41am.
- digger1942, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12For number 2, maybe it's 28 billion light years apart, but only 14 billion years old, because it traveled 14 light years in all directions from a central point. As in, 14x2=28. You know, diameter == to radius x 2? You eated my cookie?!
- pennvneff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I know basic math, I also know how to read and follow the historical events that occur in my county. I'm wondering, do you?
In 2000, George Bush did not win the popular vote, he won the electoral vote. And he only won the electoral vote after the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, voted in favor of Bush 5 to 4. Or should I say, it was five ***** who broke with precedent to hand Dubya the presidency on a silver ***** platter. It was also the third time in American history that a someone won the electoral college without winning the popular vote.
Know what the ***** you're talking about next time you decide to pipe up. - Bamborzled, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yeah, and 100 years later they might finally launch the pictures section!
- chowdah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Ummmm, did anybody ever tell you about the rest of the planet you live on?
- randomracoon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Nude pictures are very important to mankind, so please dont mock them. If not please explain why the circulation numbers of Penthouse is greater than that of the New-scientist?
- Gabberwok, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6You had me until cold fusion and homeopathy...
- avonwodahs, on 10/10/2007, -10/+14Where is our education system on that list?
- docholliday101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4" The trouble was, nobody could explain what this "dark matter" was.And they still can't. Although researchers have made many suggestions about what kind of particles might make up dark matter, there is no consensus. It's an embarrassing hole in our understanding."
I can't see it, I can't measure it, but it must be there because *something* makes the universe turn round. 90% of the universe is filled with something because I can only scientifically measure the other remaining 10%. I'm going to start a religion based on faith in the existence of dark matter. - movieguyjon, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3harvinator24 is doing it wrong!
