Saw this the other day and I must say I am now convinced that not only have we been visited by ET's but that the military is definitely covering it up. It's a strange thing though. I know they're out there now, but what do they want? Why don't they just come forward and make themselves known? Perhaps we aren't ready yet. Perhaps we'll never be ready. Hence the label "junk science"..

An amazing case of pet navigation:

"In 1923, while on a family road trip in Indiana, Bobbie—a two-year old Scotch Collie/English Shepherd mix—was separated from his owners and lost. After an exhaustive search the broken-hearted family returned to their home in Oregon never expecting to see their beloved dog again. Six months later, Bobbie appeared on their doorstep mangy and scrawny with feet worn to the bone; he showed all the signs of having walked the entire way back alone.
During his ordeal he crossed 2,551 miles (4,105 km) of plain, desert and mountains in the winter to return home, an average of approximately 14 miles (23 km) per day. After his return to Silverton, he experienced a meteoric rise to fame. He was the subject of newspaper articles including Ripley's Believe It or Not!, books and film. Bobbie played himself in the 1924 silent film The Call of the West. He received hundreds of letters from people around the world and was honored with a jewel-studded harness and collar, ribbons and keys to cities."===http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbie_the_Wonder_Dog

I realised just now that I already had a subforum that could cover it (Puzzles, Crosswords, Sudoku etc), anything specific can be added as a subforum to this forum.

Study questions the prescription for drug resistance

"In response to the rise of drug-resistant pathogens, doctors are routinely cautioned against overprescribing antimicrobials. But when a patient has a confirmed bacterial infection, the advice is to treat aggressively to quash the infection before the bacteria can develop resistance. A new study questions the accepted wisdom that aggressive treatment with high drug dosages and long durations is always the best way to stem the emergence and spread of resistant pathogens. The review of nearly 70 studies of antimicrobial resistance, which was authored by researchers at Princeton and other leading institutions and published last week in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals the lack of evidence behind the practice of aggressive treatment in many cases..."
