You know what I'd like to see. A site that examines alternative medicine neutrally and scientifically.
Googling for that stuff there's endless scientific looking sites selling the mumbo jumbo side <_<

Stop using "alternative medicine" and "scientifically" in the same sentence.  They are mutually exclusive terms.

:yes:

Are dogs suddenly "alternative cats"?

And I'd like to read why this is so and what led people to believe these things rather than just take it as written that it is wrong.
You know. Science.

Not even going to tell you about the knife fight I had over goddamned Oxford fucking commas.  Fucking mouthbreathers.

I want to see a cage match between Chicago Manual authors and AP editors on this matter

That's really more history; given that it wasn't science that got them to believe such methods were useful.

I sent in my sample to AncestryDNA.  Better not be any Irish in the results :angry:

I don't think you can tell religion through DNA.

I'll worry about that when I have the kids' ancestry tested.

I noticed an Ancestry DNA TV commercial the other day. They're really making a push. Though they seem. To offer less than 23 and me. Still waiting for the price drop...

I understand checking your DNA to see if there are any likely genetic diseases.

I don't understand spending money to see how Irish you are.
