Getting my beliefs challenged
I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...

Hmm, I want one too.;))
Dates? Meh. Too sweet for me. :)
I never got a taste for them, my main complaint was "why are those things wrapped in clingfilm?"
Don't think they're sold here, but I'll have to look again after your photo!
Gal Friday, if you get the chance, do try fresh. They are moister, softer and milder in taste than dried.
Anon, those cookies sound tasty!
Tom, one of the pleasures of the fresh dates is that they are sold loose weight: I get to pick each one myself with a plastic tong. :-)
Protege, thank you so much for the "Premios Dardo Award"! I'm touched!
