This article makes me weep for our species, mostly for the absurdity of the premise, but also for the diminished quality of a once great website and the mockery of journalism it's become.
- Natsu 12y agoI used to love Ars, but I deleted the bookmark some time ago. I loved articles like the lengthy description of Homeopathy. It helped me avoid accidentally buying a $5 bottle of water eye drops that may or may not have once contained something derived from bees. They hid this fact in tiny print which is quite hard to read when your eyes are watery and put the bottle in the pharmacy, adjacent to actual medicine.
