Gordy

Is that the man from Brussels? about 6'4" full of muscles?

 

[GordonM]

Indeed, he was from Brussels.

In the land down under, where the beer flows free and the men chunder!

Do they chunder from the beer or the vegemite?

Craig.................

I like Vegemite. And I like Marmite too.

I may have lost/missed your take on this, Are saying that a Military Medal is worth less than a canonization or a Nobel prize?

I think this depends on the military medal. The ones you get for not turning up drunk on duty more than occationally far less, the ones that get handed out personally by a royal is probably almost equivalent (knighthoods being a better equivalent?). Canonization is not even on the map.

Incidentally, Andrew Wakefield was a charlatan. His work was discredited by peer review, and he was subsequently struck off by the GMC.

Excommunicated for heresy then? Another parallel - excellent

Yea, there is that one as well. Having seen government in action far too many times I'm trying to imagine the size of some of those conspiracies, and the nightmare of keeping them secret. About 10000 people for the Apollo mission...

And when there is an obvious candidacy for the Nobel price in medicin if the claims turn out to be true, why is no one in the field (i.e. actual Ph.D.+M.D. people at some university hospital) working on colloidal silver?

Right that's me and the kids safe now.

going to have to go back over the threads but did we not have some research that said foil hats increase the signal? or did we agree that it was disinformation?? or that it was false disinformation and hats were ok??? :togo:

From an interesting, and no doubt controversial site, but knowledge from different POV is all part and parcel of learning, and knowing someone who lost a child because of information being with-held about the MMR vaccination and how he was led down the garden path for nearly five awaiting an inquest it isn't just a simple thing to dismiss as "Normal"

YMMV

It dos'nt really matter, it was'nt peer reviewed. So the data's useless . Better safe than sorry.

True might go for a 3 layer modification on mine

You'll have to test it for yourself... don't bother to tell us the results, we won't trust you
