 MM> Here's a thought from: http://ideas.4brad.com/node/303

 MM> Washington, DC: The American Association for the Advancement of
 MM> Science (AAAS) issued a stern warning today to Televangelist Pat
 MM> Robertson. Robertson had recently condemned the citizens of Dover, PA
 MM> to the wrath of God for not voting in a school board that would teach
 MM> Intelligent Design in classes. 

 MM> "We'd like to say to the good Reverend Robertson: if there is a
 MM> disaster in your area, don't turn to Science, you just rejected it from
 MM> your life," AAAS said on its daily television show broadcast from
 MM> Washington, the 3.14159 Club. 

 MM> "And don't wonder why it hasn't helped you when problems begin, if
 MM> they begin. We're not saying they will, but if they do, just remember,
 MM> you just pushed science out of your life. And if that's the case, don't
 MM> ask for its help because it might not be there," they said. "In
 MM> particular, you won't have a phone to call the ambulance, and it won't
 MM> exist even if you could call it. And even if the doctor lived next door
 MM> and you could call her, she would only bleed you and put smelly
 MM> poultices on your forehead to balance your humours. And she would be a
 MM> guy." 

 MM> "Actually, we're just kidding," the AAAS later corrected.
"Science
 MM> works whether you believe in it or not. That's what's really cool about
 MM> it," they said.

 MM> Right on, AAAS, baby !

All of which shows AAAS should stick to reporting science and 
avoid humor, of which the editor obviously knows little ... 
[sigh] ...
