Interestingly, here is an article on Cracked on everybody's favourite first horsewoman of the apocalypse.
The article is fun but does not bring much that we don't already know. The real scoop here is that a humoristic site with no particular interest in critical thinking or health science is picking up the story. Maybe the controversy is going to become of mainstream...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Carl Sagan - 1996 |
