Godspeed, Commander Adams

It's Wikileaks Day

Scientists with style

I think more scientists should be in GQ. Larry Moran exhibits both style and craftsmanship with his handmade haberdashery. Now you might think I should be envious — I should have such panache! — but the tinfoil cone simply isn't...

The Bible is not a medical text
Category: Religion
