Religion vs. Secular Science

all sloppy scientists who forget a dot when wanting to access pubmed dot com (the central search engine for medical publications), thus typing http://wwwpubmed.com/ into their browser windows, are referred to bible studies dot org ("the mega site of bible, church, christian & religious info & studies").
bible studies dot org is "easy to navigate" and can prove that the bible is true on only "app. 6000 pages"
great website

Space & Time Travels: Mazaworld and Krautrock

Virtually feels like travelling: A 40-year old Kiwi travel buff documents his own travels and compiles interesting information about the earth on Mazalien.com. In particular his collection of travel videos (in particular Michael Palin's Full Circle with full-length episodes) is useful!

New Urban Music Blog features a cool BBC4 documentary on Krautrock (Krautrockumentary) and the awakening of German electronic music.
German Electronic Music History from Jose Rodriguez on Vimeo.

Addendum: I don't like the krautrock as david bowie's li'l brother part at the end, but it neatly shows german music in the 60s to 80s. kraftwerk electro stockhausen synthis everything

Erich Kästner about the Year's End

...
Das Jahr vergeht in Monatsraten.
Es ist schon wieder fast vorbei.
Und was man tut, sind selten Taten.
Das, was man tut, ist Tuerei.

Jonah Lehrer: The Dirty Secret of Science

In the first issue 2010 of Wired (magazine), Jonah Lehrer (person), author of Frontal Cortex (blog) and The Decisive Moment/How We Decide (book) contributed Accept Defeat: The Neuroscience of Screwing Up (article).

"Experiments rarely tell us what we expect. That's the dirty secret of science."
"The problem with science ... isn’t that most experiments fail — it’s that most failures are ignored."
"Belief, in other words, is a kind of blindness."
(excerpts)
