Listened to the Infinite Monkey Cage on podcast - recommend it. A Scientist made observations on Japan's damaged nuclear plant's radioactive levels compared to that received from CAT Scanners aswell as other interesting scare mongering in the press. Well worth a listen, just be careful of fried breakfasts

day four, and still no word from PresterJohn. i lie here surrounded by mutant zombies trying to remain unseen, but all seems hopeless. The specific details on how PresterJohn would cede that a gm loaf might cause a range of allergies or biological conditions remain a mistery, but without clarification, it's without resolution. I can only assume that presterjohn has been waylaid into picketing the last G.M. crop laboratory he passed.

Just randomly, is there an example of where biological control has even worked?

Its a nice, tidy idea, but is it effective?

After introducing cane toads (to try to control a pest in sugar cane), they were very careful before releasing the wasp whose larvae ate prickly pear.
