Has Japan ever shared their research from all of the whale hunting they’ve done?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Japan claims they kill hundreds of whales each year in the name of research. Where is this information published, and are there other researchers that consume their “lab animals” as they do with the whales? I’ve always wanted to know, and give the Japanese a fair shake. Will they continue to “research”? Or have they discovered what they were searching for?

My hamster has a cold. Anyone know how to make him more comfortable?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

I’m assuming it’s the human type cold. I already know that hamsters can get it, because researchers use hammies in the lab instead of mice/rats which are immune. Anyway, I’m hoping there’s maybe a hamster-safe herb that will help?

Ok here’s the deal. You watch TV paranormal shows. They are recorded with video cameras. Generally nicer then the ones the researchers use. The camera is filming and the researcher gets excited that he just captured a ghost on his camera. But the camera man’s camera did not. They were both filming in the same spot. ???!??
