    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    High Power 2M Antenna

    Take a look at this ad from the local Craig's List:

    http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/5257692219.html

    "This is the Highest Power 1/2 Wave 2M Dipole Antenna We Have Ever Had."

    WTF?? It's a simple wire dipole. I sent the guy a letter suggesting that he might do better if he confined his marketing to CBers.

    Rainy days make for very low QRN. I've got the remnants of what once was Patricia coming down on me at the moment...and the bands are noise free. No power line hash to speak of.

    But power line hash is tasty, like corned beef hash with electron sauce.

    Anyone who's ever been to an ARC meeting already knew this

    From Science Newsline.

    Science has long dictated that brains don't fossilize, so when Nicholas Strausfeld co-authored the first ever report of a fossilized brain in a 2012 edition of Nature, it was met with "a lot of flack."

    [...]

    His latest paper in Current Biology addresses these doubts head-on, with definitive evidence that, indeed, brains do fossilize.
