Panel To Investigate Scientist For Cloning Claims 117
collegetoad writes "A panel of scientists from the Seoul National University will investigate scientist Hwang Woo-suk on whether he committed fraud in claiming he had developed tailored embryonic stem cells. From the article: 'Hwang also said in a paper published in 2004 in the journal Nature, that he had cloned, for the first time, a human cell to provide a source of embryonic stem cells -- master cells that can provide a source of any type of tissue or cell in the body.'" We've reported on this previously.

All of these folks are vitaly important. Lets see if I can address them in turn*:
1. Homeopaths - sexual orientation has not been proven to affect scientific ability.
2. Naturalists - These are people who run around without clothes, right? Whats not fun about that?
3. New-age Healers - Because after a year or two, the bottom of my shoe really needs to be replaced.
4. Dowsers - I didn't get any money for marrying my wife, but if this practice is going to see a return, I can't complain.
5. Reflexologists - These folks are a must, how else will we be able to develop the weapons we need to fight the Zentradi?
6. Chiropractors - A good chiropractor sometimes costs less than a massage therapist, both give good back-rubs. Competition is good, we need Chiropractors.
7. Feng Shui Experts - This is perhaps the most important of all, it helps keep my wife from re-arranging the furniture. "But honey, they HAVE to be arranged that way."
