Pardon me for ignorance, but I have never tried baking horse-shit. What is it like?
Personally, when I can get it, I put it on my rhubarb!
LOL
One can often find it in great quantities in the more southern and western regions of the Unitied States where it often sun-bakes upon the plains (the best kind, as opposed to oven-baked), most notably in areas where ranching activities occur. Of course, I have been thinking of establishing a firm to market this. However, shipping bottles with semi-liquid contents may have difficult clearing US regulations (note recent hysteria viz., liquids on planes).
Of course this is not to say that other countries do not produce their share of this product. Almost every national capitol in the world tends to have a processing factory for this product, most often running at full speed. Often there are many sub-factories spread throughout many countries.

Although Kristoff is certainly right, the highest quality horseshit -- and bullshit -- is produced in Washington D.C. It's debatable as to at which end of Pennsylvania Ave the best horseshit is produced, but all will agree that record amounts of it have been produced during the last four years at both locations*.
*note: For those not from the USA, the Capitol building is at one end of Pennsylvania Ave, and the White House is at the other.
The topic came up about "Junk Science" in an Email this morning and I said:
"""came to the statement a few days ago that we continuously allow the essential and important FLOW of GIGO go trough our system, and out of this FLOW of the substance we need and treasure called GIGO we pick out the few elements we think is the essence and ponder it. Without this FLOW of the GIGO juice we do not have a life source of knowledge to draw from so the world would be quite empty and we would not get our nourishment that comes from the GIGO juice, or flow that goes though our mind and environment. So we must treasure our GIGO and not KNOCK IT or show DISRESPECT for it...I am not kidding. There is NO junk science, only our limited comprehension of our GIGO environment.. Life force..
GIGO is defined as GARBAGE IN AND GARBAGE OUT (GIGO).

I would definitely disagree with you. There most definitely IS junk science, and it often takes a logical, scientific, rational mind to sort out the garbage and the crap. Just because the flotsam is in there does not give it any validity. There are lots of crackpots out there who have themselves convinced they have the scientific breakthrough of the millenium, and the only thing they more likely have is a rather active psychosis. That does not suggest that science always has things correct - it DOES work off of hypotheses, and if well defined and tested thereafter provide a good basis for conclusion, but logic always assumes there can be unknowns and error (probabilities of error are usually calculated as part of the study).
Yes, all ideas other than those that have been passed through carefull peear review are SUSPECT and the time we spend on finding fault make us true truth-finders. While one or two of us find in the GIGO profund other knowledge those that spend time in the other wain will probably fail to find those fine points.
So letting GIGO work undisturbed and not in mass being found FAULTY the really good ideas worth pursuing by a few of us still goes on and are still there if not disturbed by the CRITIQUES in our midst.
Examples - take planet X for example, or cold fusion - or take anitigravity - there are numerous GIGO items that are severly attacked and are called JUNK SCIENCE. LEt us let GIGO run "UNINTERUPTED" as a RESOURCE and there is a chance that more of us will pick up on it sooner than later - if at all. Is what I mean.
I think we are all in agreement that this fellow's observations as reposted at the beginning of this thread are nothing more than a large, steaming meadow muffin. Burn away, T..
Like I said in my reply to the thread "Some people don't understand." Some e-mails are junk e-mail, just like the postal junk mail that clogs up your postal mailbox. It's best to handle it the same way one handles junk postal mail and phone calls from telemarketers.
Throw away the junk mail and forget about it.
Hang up on the telemarketers and forget about them.
Delete the junk e-mails and forget about them.
The e-mail that started this thread is not only junk, it is so huge it just clogs thing up. Get rid of it, delete it from your computer, and forget about it.

Unfortunately, it's an "academic" article that was published in a peer-reviewed journal. It may well be on the shelf at your nearest university library. It uses US, here, the Eunuch Archive, as a resource for the research and directly quotes some of the posts that have been made here.
To call it "psycho-babble" is much kinder than I would go with it, and I'm an academic. I read (and sometimese even speak and write) the language.
Contact with the author gets the response that HE thinks it's all absolutely accurate and a fair picture of us and what goes on here....
