These are just the ones i know are bullshit/conjecture/incredibly poorly written/misleading.

(almost every hummingbird wieghs more than a penny) There is A hummingbird that weighs less than a penny.

Water is H2 O (H = 1; O = 16). (1)+(1)+(16) = 18 So Hydrogen is 2/18th of water, not 98%.

What about "and sometimes "Y"?
Facetiously?
We were always taught: "a,e,i,o,u,and sometime y".

here's something.

tradition would have us believe that human behaviour is " ... in the blood". of course stuff like our looks and our reflexes, our size and our general health may be.

but most of our behaviour is learned. where we learn it, how we know we are behaving ok, and most of the things we do are Cultural. we learned them from significant and perhaps not so significant others.

looking around at the way we behave (ok, I 'm generalising) this means we have been taught mostly bullshit for most of our lives as far as I can see. but no one wants to take the blame so they say behaviour must be in the blood.

Right ... or not ...? ripped off by our ancestors ... or not?

the federal government is beatable

the federal government is beatable

Less than one percent of marijuana busts are federal, and only 5 percent result in prosecution.

Multiple state legalization would force federal legalization. Get active in your state today.

Don't know where you got your facts, but the dragonfly lifespan is wrong. Naiads of some species live 4-5 years before becoming adults, and most adults live for at least several months, longer in the tropics. This calls into question all of your listed facts. Tighten up H2O. :)

The fact that he claims someone weighed the soul calls it into question.

http://www.snopes.com/religion/soulweight.asp


In 1907 a Dr. attempted to prove the existence of the soul by weighing bodies before and after death. This does not prove that the soul exists or that the weight loss (if any) is caused by the soul leaving the body. Of course, people who want to believe in souls still spread this myth to this day. People shape their perception of reality based on their beliefs, not the other way around.

There is no evidence of a soul except for as a metaphor for consciousness.
