The experiment was conducted after one Dutch scientist found himself in such a situation and could not recall his own address. Talk about sloppy science! The guy had reached his conclusion before the experiment began. Then, acting on that bias, he slandered an entire gender as hapless feebs, enslaved by their libidos. I decided the issue required more rigorous testing, and devised an experiment of my own. It was conducted over two days, featuring enthusiastic test subjects, elaborate scientific methodology and lavish sushi lunches on an expense account. Read full article > >

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Ratko Mladic defiantly refused on Friday to enter pleas to what he called “obnoxious” allegations that as the Serb military chief during the Bosnian war he orchestrated the worst atrocities of a conflict that claimed 100,000 lives. He claimed he was defending “my people and my country.” Appearing in a U.N. courtroom shielded by bulletproof glass 16 years after he was first indicted, Mladic told the Dutch presiding judge he was “gravely ill,” but would only give details of his health out of earshot of the public.
