One of the neat things about editing the Syntheis Weekly is that I get a first-had crack at the action before the paper even hits the streets. Last Friday I was proofing Mad Bob Howard’s column, and he referenced a fellow “outsider artist” (aside: something about the term “outsider art” or “outsider artist” makes me cringe, and therefore, encase it in quotes like some sort of literary specimin) by the name of Jonathan Troxler.
Easter is one of those bizarre holidays – quasi-religious, quasi-pagan, entirely alcoholic these days. It has [...]
Oh Shit There’s a Horse in the Hospital

When I saw the headline “Horse Stem Cell Technique to Be Used in Humans” I was really hoping for some crazy ass shit involving horse cells being injected into humans to make them stronger, faster, better (perhaps even hung, like a horse). However, the reality is far less sensational:
A stem-cell repair technique that has already been used to fix hundreds of injured race horses is to be tested for the first time in people with damaged Achilles tendons.
Privately owned British biotech firm MedCell Bioscience Ltd said on Wednesday it would [...]
Humans and Aliens Might Share Common Genetic Roots

Satan Plants More Dinosaur Bones To Trick Humans

The devil’s at it again, this time planting into the ground the skull of a giant sea creature that–if such a thing were possible–could crush an SUV.
Researchers say the marine reptile, which measured an impressive 15m (50ft) long, had a bite force of about 45 tonnes (33,000lbs) per square inch.
The creature’s partial skull was dug up last summer in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard by a Norwegian-led team.
Dubbed “Predator X”, it patrolled the oceans some 147 million years ago.
Its jaws may have been more powerful than those of a [...]
