RE "GRQS - Funniest or Worst Ever???"

Apply for funding to study the mating habits of lobsters with a special view towards the impact of global warming. (At least on top of the vast sums the government will throw at you you get to eat lobster every night)
Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

from the site's disclaimer page: "The site does not provide medical or legal advice." So I guess their advice must just be haphazard advice.A bunch of nut-cases masquerading as a medical resource?

re code-frog's[^] post in the Lounge, where he asks for the stupidist Get-Rich-Quick scheme ever: Here are two candidates (being SB material I thought I'd spare the Lounge...) 1) Pour cyanide into the eyes of 1,000 guinea-pigs and catalogue your results. Announce that people should avoid letting cyanide come into contact with their eyes. Then apply for government funding to research the same with bleach, eye-shadow (various makes of), and 1001 other substances. Wear a white lab-coat so people know you are a serious scientist. If you run out of guinea-pigs, just use cats instead. Any animal will do - no-one cares; all they want is re-assurance from someone they can kid themselves is authoratative. 2) Tell people you have spoken to God and form a worldwide religion. They will believe you (People believe anything.) Ask for donations and/or a percentage of their income in order that they will go to Heaven when they die. Fred
I happen to catch a bit of an odd movie the other night that was made in 1978. It was about four doctors who go off into the wilderness together for a weekend. There is this amazing scene where one of the doctors is trying to convince his three buddies to help fund his penis enlargement project. One of the doctors responds with "What man in his right mind is going to buy pills that will grow his penis?". It was both funny and predictable and to my mind it is definitely the worst scam of all time. :)

You know as well as I do that, in the USA in particular, such a statement is just legal common sense. These people are professionals - just because you don't like what they say doesn't (necesarily) make them nutcases. Face it, be it Global Warming, diet, or a host other topics, you will always find professionals in the field who will disagree with one another.

Right. And the fact that their president also happens to be the live-in boyfriend of PETA's president has no relevance at all. Sorry, this is an advocacy group for veganism, and a partner of PETA. It is not a health advisory group, no matter how much it may try to masquerade under its phony title.

I don't know, the rub on creams might be slightly worse. American's have so much fail in pills that it's less suprising the number of people that believe in the penis pills. Talking about creams, can't remember the comedian that mentioned it but for the 2 or 3 people in the world that missed it, he said... "You just rub it on and it gets bigger. Yeah right, wouldn't your hand get bigger too?"

I've always thought two of the biggest scams are insurance and college book stores. Sell you a $50 book and then next semester when you bring it back they say it's not being used anymore, but we'll give you $5 for it.

You know, neither of those sound terribly quick, and seem more than a little bit dangerous - if getting rich quick involves taking on additional work and danger, then what exactly is the point? No, i think i'll go with my original plan: buying dirty grain bulk, and selling it in tiny plastic bags at 500% markup.

They may have more on their agenda than simply advising on health, but could you call their advice unhealthy?

So what? So he happens to live with someone else who shares his beliefs/passions - is that a surprise? Why does that, in itself, invalidate what they say? If you want to argue against what they're saying then do so, but just to diusmiss it because two people involved in different gruops wiht similar beliefs are living together is pretty weak. But then, this is a typical tactic of people who don't have a good argument of their own: divert things into an attack on the people involved - that way, you don't actually have to come up with any counter-argument.
