I’m not sure that a theory that cannot be fasfified by any facts is a good thing, exept for austrian economics of course.

Took the words out of my mouth. Well, honestly I was going to say something like “proto pac-man” or “a pac-man ancestor”.

Roderick: ... would you run a headline saying that the find “challenges the law of gravity”? We are talking about the O-A News here. Don't give them any ideas.

I’m glad none of the copy desk staff at my paper try to get away with headlines that misleading, especially on science stories, which are poorly written enough. (AP could really use some decent science reporters.) I have enough trouble with creationists flooding us with letters to the editor as it is. In fact, I wrote a column this week just to needle them, which was quite a stretch considering I write an entertainment column.
