  7. This "news" is circulating pretty much in the ponds of the Daily Fail and other yellow journalism, and that of the NCR and other hard theistic outlets.
    And in suspicious timing, they've also almost simultaneously "broken" "news" of David Rolfe's supposed Shroud-based conversion.

  8. All selection — and indeed all phenomena — are ultimately natural. The farmed strain is selected by the farmer for greater nutrient yield because the farmer strain is selected by nature for greater nutrient seeking.
