herewiss13I've just run into an oxymoron even more brilliant than "military intelligence":
"Medically Supervised Anecdotal Study"
Anyone with any sort of scientific background _whatsoever_ knows how ridiculous that is. I chuckle to myself every time they mention it on the radio (some male enhancement herbal suplement).
Speaking of science, it's always impressive to watch a truly persistent factchecker at work. I can't even remember now where I ran across the link for this article, but it's worth reading as the reporter tracks down where claims that glaciers are _growing_ and not shrinking have been coming from:
