On the quackery of chiropractic spinal manipulations. I like this bit though: "The courtroom is no place to settle scientific disputes, and silencing journalists, scientists or sceptics with legal threats is, in my view, cowardly."

Do people who speak different languages think differently simply because they speak different languages? Does learning new languages change the way you think? Do polyglots think differently when speaking different languages?

Prejudice against people with different accents develops in infants before they start to speak. Very interesting post.

The best evidence for the validity of the arguments of the three opponents of the President for rejecting the results declared by the Interior Ministry is the data the Ministry itself has issued. In the chart below, compiled based on the data released by the Ministry and announced by Iran’s national television, a perfect linear relation between the votes received by the President and Mir Hossein Mousavi has been maintained, and the President’s vote is always half of the President’s.

Farouq Hosni shouldn’t be the head of UNESCO. Not just because of his (probably entirely politically opportunistic) Israel-bashing.
