    What do you expect from a blog?

    Hell, even newspapers present 10 year old events as news... for example 'spidergoats'.

    As for the research, there's nothing wrong with that. There are many studies which look at meditation and stress. New studies just confirm the results, so that's a good thing... bring them on.

    I'm happy to see it. I find it humorous that it's presented as if it's "news" or something. I think they should put it in the drinking water! :)

    This is actually about Lojong. So there is a bit of "newness" for mainstream media anyways.

    And where can one purchase these spidergoats? I ask for a ... friend, who is not at all involved with breeding chimera super-monsters.

    lol

    Here's an article about them from 10 years ago
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/889951.stm

    I see the same story almost every year. Same researchers, same goats, same everything... just different year... and it's always presented as news.

    They might get over it now that they have managed to make silkworms do the same thing (the fibres aren't as strong though).

    Actually messing with genes like that is pretty dangerous. We dismiss whole chunks of DNA as 'junk DNA' simply because we don't know what it does.

    There is a ton of scientific study of meditation if it interests you. This organization keeps up with most if not all of it.

    Someone should do a study of the bizarre tangents that online discussion forums generate. You could graph it as bizarreness of tangent as a function of the number of posts it takes to get that bizarre :)
