For those of you who believe in scientific theory.: An entomologist trains fleas to jump over his finger by verbal command. Then, he removes two legs and each flea clears his finger on command. The scientist then removes two more legs and orders the fleas to jump. The fleas makes it. The scientist finally removes the last two legs and when he orders the fleas to jump, they just lay there. To be true t scientific method, he repeats his experiment with twenty fleas. His conclusion, whe a flea has all their legs removed, they are rendered deaf.

85 percent of people who get cancer eat pickles, therefore pickles must cuase cancer. ?

This is true.

Hmm...sounds like the logic I've heard from US scientists:

Use plenty of deadly pesticides to get rid of insects on crops,

use dangerous GMO crops (which kill insects that land on them) to get bigger yields,

ship in food from long distances (so there will be weeks between harvest and purchase),

wrap everything in toxic plastics (which get dumped into the oceans to enter the food chain).

When people die of cancer, that means they need to take toxic chemotherapy and radiation. Nothing to do with their lifestyle or diet, of course.

Mock people who grow their own food and/or only buy organic food, calling them "hippy-dippy."

Scientists DO draw wrong conclusions, often. We're human. That is why we publish and encourage others to confirm or refute the work. Mistaken conclusions should get shaken out.

So you train fleas too ??

@VAL3941 Funny, I might actually get an opportunity in the not too distant future...

@Zster
Try bed mites, they are more challanging ???

@VAL3941 Lol, good heavens! I suspect that they would be. Tough to even see them!

@Zster
My point exactly ?

Obviously it's a flawed experiment. To be sure of his findings he would have to rerun the experiment, only this time putting cotton wool in the fleas' ears first!!
