That's pretty awesome. I saw Metallica at Wembley Stadium in 07. It was unforgettable. Dave Mustaine is now a born again christian. His autobiography,'Mustaine: A Life in Metal', is a pretty good read.

I had no idea that it had such an impact on policing in the US. I'll have a look to see if I can find the amc programme. I went to the cinema to see it with my ex-husband and we watched it together a few times on DVD but I haven't seen it for a few years.

Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity (JW Speak)
by Perry inthe sokal affair.
the paper, transgressing the boundaries: towards a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity, was published in science wars in 1996. on the day of publication, sokal announced (in a different paper,) that the article was a hoax.
he said that social text was a pastiche of left-wing cant, fawning references, grandiose quotations, and outright nonsense.

My all-time favourite deception/hoax:
The Cottingley Fairies
In 1917, 2 young girls, Frances Griffiths & Elsie Wright faked fairy photographs using tissue paper and hatpins, whilst fooling around with Elsie's father's camera. They fooled renowned photographer, Harold Snelling, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle and KODAK! In 1920 The Strand magazine published an article entitled "An Epoch Making Event - Fairies Photographed".
Sometimes we want to believe what we see/read.

And that is why my JW sister's marital home is her mother-in-law's house, and why 13 years later, she works doing the same job she did at 16 (a JW's business) even though her A Level results were considerably better than mine, and she got accepted to 2 respectable Universities yet turned down both offers. What a waste!

Not exactly scientific (unless you happen to be a botanist) but a hoax presented by a reputable, respectable, current affairs programme which managed to fool the majority of Britain at the time it was broadcast...

Do female posters perhaps express themselves 'differently' here at certain times of the month?
Yeah, that special time of the month known as payday is cocktail EVENING not just 1 hour!

Weird? Sinister? Or just hi-tec?
by Chariklo init's the end of a seriously stressful day.
after going through my emails and browsing a couple of shopping sites for autumn clothes, i came here for light relief.. checked the active topics and then my own list of topics posted to in case i needed to answer anyone.
then i noticed something really weird.. google's banner ads caught my eye.
