Why our world may actually be nothing but a hologram

With this particular story, culled from the Daily Telegraph, I find myself wondering whether to be frustrated at the journalistic attention-grabbing sensationalistic headline that reduces the whole story to farce and [...]
Researchers research pointless research projects; hope for funding for ‘does beer make you drunk’ study.
July 8, 2008 – 1:32 pm
Sea life centers across Europe have started a study to find out if Octopi have a ‘favorite tentacle’ by giving them toys – such as Rubik’s Cubes – to play with. It is hoped that, with the help of the public as observers, they will be able to shed some light of the pressing issue [...]
