This is also pretty astounding:
Though to be fair, I've seen things posted in *some threads* here, which are examples of how people feel that the political club (they belong to) opinions are valid enough basis to choose *what science* to believe in.

Also the ''fact'', stated by the 6th man on the moon and scientist, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, that we have been in frequent contact with an extraterrestrial race for the past 60 years and that there will be disclosure about it all in the coming years.
Quite astonishing to hear such a thing from a well respected member of the science and astronaut community.

Quite astonishing to hear such a thing from a well respected member of the science and astronaut community. Well, sort of. But scientists are just human. And the world of science is constantly in debate about things. You shouldn't believe a scientist just because he's a scientist. That would be putting science on the same field as religion with scientists as priests. Science is about scepticism and critical thinking more than anything else. Some scientists believe some things, others believe other things. That's normal and human. But science is not about believing. Science tries to create a map/model of the universe which has the quality of being able to predict observations/events. Science doesn't try to "prove" that model. That is a fallacy of the believer's mind. It doesn't exist. It's impossible to prove the "truth". You can only prove that something is not true. Science tries to prove that the model is wrong. Because that is what can be done. As such attempts are consistently unsuccessful, confidence in the model is strengthened. If that model works exceptionally well, it's regarded as fact, factual knowledge.

I had heard about the particular bird using calls to attract females, but not that it actually picked up any kind of sound to vary its repertoire. The clip left me dumbfounded. O.o

The Great Attractor isn't so great. It's probably the core of the Laniakea Supercluster that our own Virgo Supercluster is a smaller arm or extension of, and gravity is pulling us ever closer towards it, as gravity does over time.
But we'll never reach it, due to the postulated influence of dark energy.

The tallest couple ever: Anna Swan & Martin Van Buren Bates. Anna Swan was 7'1'' or 241cm tall, weighed in at about 180 kilograms or 396 lbs, she had completely normal proportions and no side effects caused by her enormous stature. She was described as highly intelligent and calm. Their two babies were even bigger than their parents when they were that age, unfortunately they both died - allegedly simply due to the poor 1800's hygiene standards.

Eventually the earths rotation with the moon will sync up to the point where the moon will only be visible from one side of the planet.

Genetics related facts are most crazy and interesting i would say. for example: Our DNA is 50% identical of that of a banana. Some people are actually 10% more banana than others.

This giant radiation shield Which is a joke since all the radioactive fuel has leaked into the ground already, and the radioactive graphite was blown into the air. Not much radioactive stuff remained in there. The company responsible for building this radiation shield is getting way more money that this shield is actually worth. Guess whats happening here.
