if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

The history of the papacy is quite a comical read.

Scientists get closer to solving mystery of antimatter

QuoteScientists have made a key discovery about antimatter - a mysterious substance which was plentiful when the Universe began.

Antimatter is the opposite of matter, from which stars and planets are made.

Both were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang which formed our Universe. While matter is everywhere, though, its opposite is now fiendishly hard to find.

The latest study has discovered the two respond to gravity in the same way.

For years, physicists have been scrambling to discover their differences and similarities, to explain how the Universe arose.

As it is and was a second Wednesday I was making beer today.
Two x 23 litre vessels into about 60 750ml bottles.
I'm a pretty basic beer maker, yeast comes with a can which you add stuff to, but the yeast sachets are miserly, so I use two and next batch use some of the residue for the next batch, instead of a sachet of yeast.

Today I thought I'd try adding some of the trub, (beer brew residue) to some flour, Google says add some salt and sugar (sugar=yeast food)

I didn't do a lot squishing, though it'd probably be therapeutic, but beer day is a busy day.

I produced an interesting smallish loaf of bread, better than many I've bought that were supposed to be special. Maybe I could do pizza bases.

If you don't eat ze bugs, you can't have any pudding!
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat ze bugs?!

QuoteShe notes that those who have supported eating insects only suggest doing so on a voluntary basis.

Not me, I support mandatory, compulsory strictly enforced insects, worms and thingamiepods for all those right wing spoilt toddler types.

Crickets are being processed here in the US as a sort of delicacy for those with a need for a diverse source of nourishment. Cricket as food, is touted as a source of essential vitamins or minerals.  I have not tried that delicacy just yet.

The aboriginals of Australia are said to eat witchity(sp) grubs. The grubs can be found in abundance or so the tale goes.

Are bread and cereals vegetarian? Because there are indeed many insect parts in any grain product.

QuoteRight-wing figures can demonize their opponents by tying these conspiracies to them, says the ADL's Aniano. She notes that those who have supported eating insects only suggest doing so on a voluntary basis.

Indeed, arthropods are already part of the diet of almost all of those who're not vegetarian or vegan.

Klaus Shwalb and associates want the general floks to dine on bugs to save the environment. After they get farmers removed along with the cattle they want people stuck wit ze bugs. It's a safe bet "they" won't give up their steak, chops and chickens nor their fillets and beef wellingtons. I'm hoping the alternative economies will be in full effect by the time they get their (not our) preferences. Nematodes and meal worms don't look very appetizing to me. When as a boy on the farm I had no idea I was walking on food, but the chickens didn't mind.
