    If you like science fiction would you be a good engineer?

    That's funny, and I can see how it would be true. I loved Asimov's Foundation series. Consider him included.

    The Fear of Math in American Society

    Let's hope that the US never switches to the metric system, because I'll be very upset if I can't weigh 170. That number is very important to our lives.

    UC Berkeley students asked to submit DNA samples

    82-year-old who claims he has not had any food or water

    Assuming science can 'win' anything, what has it won? The man's claim to never requiring food or water was never tested. I assumed from the article that the purpose of the tests was to find a military application for the man's technique, which has the potential to save lives. No new...

    How harming will be this boxing or street boxing?

    Ok, so this is in part for defense and in part to preserve your image. If you want to learn to defend yourself you would be better off joining a boxing gym and learning from a professional. Not only would you get better instruction, but you would be much safer. For one on one fights I would...
