Pandora’s Box

Can you imagine the environmental impact study on this?

One already defunct idea was to use water to cool down the supervolcano.
NASA believes drilling up to 10km down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.
Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion, NASA considers it ‘the most viable solution.’

Well, this was a tough one, made tougher by some of our readers mistaking Vladmir Putin for Robert Duvall. But in ascending order, my completely subjective choices for honourable mentions:

Shark Decade

Is it just me or are we hearing more about this now-a-days? Naturally the shark apologists all claim attacks are down.
I’ve done my share of swimming in the Pacific, pretty much the entire ring from Vancouver Island to Australia and I honestly hated every minute.
If it wasn’t the jelly-fish swarms around Vancouver Island, it was Tiger Shark warnings in Hawaii. Don’t even mention all the other things that’ll hurt, maim or kill you in the South Pacific. If I don’t have to spend another second in the ocean ever again, it’ll be good.
Perhaps I’m just a worrier, but give me a nice cold fresh-water lake in Saskatchewan any day. About the only thing you have to worry about is the leeches, black flies and mosquitos.
Well, those and the odd gluten addicted bear.

“Holistic” Is A Chinese Word for “Can’t Afford Antibiotics”

…there’s a small subset of individuals that say that they are practicing what they call “Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine” (TCVM) on animals, including horses. They say that they’re practicing according to how the ancient Chinese practiced veterinary medicine on animals, practicing in a way that’s different from the unnatural, reductionist, drug- and surgery-filled “western” medicine that most veterinarians are taught. And in some sense, I’d say that they’re right; what they are doing is certainly different. And it also has essentially nothing to do with the way that the Chinese practiced veterinary medicine on animals throughout history.
