The Mayans predicted the end of the world in December 2012, but they didn't see the Spanish coming

Re: The Weather, etcetera
My former husband was an Engineer and I have several friends who are Engineers. Scientists and Engineers are often lumped together. Their minds seem to work the same way. That is all I was saying.Pastafarian wrote:In terms of whether its a science, Neferti?

On SSSF I'll take the piss out of the engineers, but essentially you're right.

Lysenkoism
Lysenkoism refers to an episode in Russian science featuring a non-scientific peasant plant-breeder named Trofim Denisovich Lysenko [1898-1976].
Just to bring you up to speed Pasta, so you are able to understand what I meant by my muse, comment.
And they say, history always repeats itself.

He is right, of course, Nurses don't have anywhere near the same scientific knowledge as Scientists and Engineers do.

Quite true nef, hence I thought i'd ask the question to see if someone else was able to answer it for me.

An essay well worth the read, and you don't even have to be a scientist to understand it.

Personally, I doubt very much if pasta has any scientific background at all, but you may squelch up to him and wet your panties at the prospect of him being a scientist/engineer if you like.

- By PastaYes, but you did Nursing, so the Science in Nursing isn't really science.

Pasta has the ability to provide a lot of non-answers though. Perhaps he/she is really a politician.mellie wrote: Personally, I doubt very much if pasta has any scientific background at all, but you may squelch up to him and wet your panties at the prospect of him being a scientist/engineer if you like.
