Don't worry, these types are usually too busy hating stuff to bother doing science. :P

[Constantine XIII]

Bacteria are dumb, and don't have robots, ninjas, and spacecraft. :)

[Constantine XIII]

LOL, what?

[Constantine XIII]

he really likes metapopulations, he listed that twice!

My grandparents, who I love dearly and am so incredibly thankful to know, are honestly being kept alive only through the technology that we have created via medicine. The same goes for the millions of other old folk alive and kicking and will continue to do so for another 5-10 years, using up more resources.

Yep; and add in all the 'food aid' and do-gooder medical & public health aid to third-world countries, why its a disgrace! Oh, the humanity of it!

I can't believe the temerity of educated, American people wanting to live long enough to collect & enjoy their Social Security, and so many actually doing so! The shame of it!

Horrors! I'll be an old man, before I can collect and blow my inheritance; Hell, by then, I may not even want a super-expensive sports car, or other breakables, but will want to waste it on things of lasting value!

Some of the comments in his obituary show him to be what many faculty members at the University of Austin are -- a virulent atheist. (He can be reached at heaven/hell.com and his bull bison is named Lucifer?)

His obit also states he likes to do carpentry but doesn't much like finish work. Sounds as if he likes finish work plenty well to me.

I think it's also interesting that two parasites are named after him.

Too bad his brother's aim with the bazooka wasn't a bit more precise, eh, mate?

I would recommend a much simpler solution than unleashing airborne ebola on humanity. Why not just let the 82nd Airborne Division practice urban warfare over on University Drive in Austin with these rules of engagement: If it moves, kill it? Yes, it's not quite as efficient, but it would be plenty efficient for getting rid of this parasite on humanity.

I suspect those at the meeting who cheered think they are in the 10% who will be spared? Only the people of color and poor white people will be subjected to airborne Ebola. And has this moron thought about how airborne Ebola may make major areas of the Earth unlivable for eons making it impossible for the 10% who survive (and why he thinks 10% will survive isn't clear) to obtain the necessities of life.

No, it's not an April Fools joke. You apparently haven't spent any time in Austin Berkinstock and Starbuck country.

[machogirl]

darn, I wish that he would put himself and us out of his misery by killing himself with Ebola.

If I recall correctly, this Forrest Mims is the same guy who was either fired or never hired by SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN for their amateur scientist column because he was a Christian. It's been a long time ago and I don't recall all the details now.

start w/ the enviroweenies

[Alouette]

Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said.

April Fools hoax?

This is another example of envirowhacko thinking

Environmentalism is as much a religeon as it is a science, and its followers can be just a blinded by it call as any islamic terrorist, or medieval witch burner.
