If working for newspapers taught me only one thing, it is how important artificially generated hype is to "fame" (whether on a micro or macro level). aaha,

It is like a comic book series with an array of combative villains, altruistic heroes, charlatans, frauds, mouse potatoes, carpetbaggers, capitalists, sycophants and crazies. And I freaking love it!

Most normal people are a little tenative and shy. The loons will call up every paper in town to tell their story. Back in my editor days, there was one particular nut job that called the paper twice a day every day for almost two weeks to tell me about his perpetual motion machine. He was fully prepared to unveil his invention provided I could set it up, so that President Bush would be there for the ceremony. Yes, I did finally send a reporter to check out the machine. The conceptual model worked great -- except that it had to be plugged into an outlet. Sadly, it’s the whack jobs that are usually the most vocal. Most normal people are a little tenative and shy.

Meldrum's explanation of flexion points and the features found in plaster casts are the kind of facts that make natural skeptics like myself take notice. Unfortunately I noticed people getting up and leaving during Jeff's talk more than I did during others (granted a couple of those were folks with antsy, fidgeting children in tow, and maybe I was shocked by the few 'runaways' because I was finally excited to be getting some "meat" instead of another Weekly World News style report.) But, I guess all that analysis of the hard evidence just isn't as fascinating as Bigfoot's caged love slave.

I guess if they actually covered legitimate research they would find it boring. IDIOTS!
