Las Vegas hosts first global alternative science conference
Las Vegas, Nevada, May 10, 2007 (WWNN) -- A gala atmosphere kicked off the first annual meeting of the World Other Orders of Wisdom Omnibus Organization. WOOWOO was founded last year by its Chairman, Frank Lee Krakt, who is also President and CEO of the International Ology Registry.
WOOWOO attendees discuss their sciences with their peers
"I love this!" exclaimed amateur Caseolunologist Gilbert Grapple, of Ukiah, California, as he propounded his theory that the moon has a surface structure chemically and culinarilly similar to cheese. "But it's not green," Grapple hastened to add. "That would just be silly! I will be reading my paper tomorrow morning here, with my presentation published as part of the WOOWOO DVD set to be mailed to all attendees afterward. I've already paid the fee and had Caseolunology registered as a science. Now my presentation will count as a peer review, and that'll make me a real space scientist!" Mr. Grapple's eyes shone with pride.
"I've just now registered the science of 'IDeology' with Mr. Krakt's Ology Registry," said Michael Behe. "Some day I may actually do an experiment to disprove Darwinism. But in the meantime, I'll read my paper and establish myself as the leading IDeologist on earth. Who's going to make fun of me then? We've all signed a nondisclosure statement: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
But one attendee who would not give his name was less enthusiastic about the gathering. "These sheeple are bad for their Ologies," he remarked. "And anyway, this is all just an elaborate setup, so the Reptiloids can have the Jews, through the Vatican, the Freemasons, and the British Royals, keep better track of the rebels. Wheels turning within wheels, within wheels."

WOOWOO looks like a great organization. I should join; after all, I'm an acknowledged expert in the esoteric field of Baited Ichthyology and it's Practical Applications.

I assume you've proven your science via experiment, and have had the results peer reviewed at the table of science?

I'm still trying to measure the "speed of dark" but I keep bumping my head and knocking over equipment. (The experiment is spoiled as soon as I turn on a flashlight.)

Nice catch, Boron! (I love to reply now, with these neat boxes!)

But of course. There is always some disagreement on peripheral matters such as classification of baits by species and their effectiveness when artificial reproductions are employed, grease temperatures and time of immersion, and cole slaw recipes. But the overall science is sound.

I've been trying to build a flashlight that projects a 20-watt shadow beam. If it ever works, maybe it will help you in your experiment, Chip.

I prefer Transfixion Ichthyology myself. Some of the best specimens are unobtainable via baiting.
Lachnolaimus maximus, for example.

Very nice. I'd recommend placing a dime on the center of the lens. This will result in a projected "beam of dark" surround by the light. My theory is that the dark beam is not moving with the light but was always there, hidden between the photons.  |

You get a hogfish once in a while ichthyologcally baiting on the grouper banks. They're very pretty and tastey.
Unfortunatly, Transfixion Ichthyology smacks of effort and limited beer, and that is what we Baiting Ichthyologists are working studiously to avoid. I myself, hold an advanced degree in Trotlining, both catfish....

.... and crab.

There is some small effort involved, and the beer must be consumed after the collection session, but as with Baited Ichthyology a fair ammount is involved.
