I've been without internet access for the last 2 weeks
What did I miss in terms of skeptic-themed discussions in the main body of DU? Anything really good?

1. Pretty much the same anti-vax nuttery.
Now its the squalene in flu vaccines is teh evul!
However, I have a pic you might like...I was in your neck of the woods a couple weeks ago and went to the Serpent Mound. My Stepmother had an old stone ax that she had evaluated there as being 6-9000 years old. I figured you would find it interesting. I saw similar ones in the museum at Serpent Mound...

5. Cool!
We found one a lot like that once, but it came out of a historic cellar hole - must have been picked up in the fields and then forgotten about in the cellar. And it could be anywhere from 4000-9000 years old, what's called the Archaic period.

2. Good to see you back
Lots on vaccines, as ever And some people have been prepared to quote far-right sites as valid sources info on the subject - the one thing that tends to send this usually rather soft-spoken poster into a raging fury!

6. Our hotel did not have Comedy Central
It did, however, have three channels of ESPN, CNBC, Faux Noise, HLN, CNN, and Showtime.
