Fact

Boarded/Cerified Forensic Entomologist are called upon more than one realizes. Remember Silence of The Lambs?

Creepy crappy. "Over 1,000 members" is way too vague.

Fact.

Even though I can do a perfectly wonderful rant about "insect detectives" putting real detectives out of work. I can go on and on about those damned ants stealing people's jobs.

Hello you FoCers! Another late update for me. I got caught up trying to get my iTunes set up correctly on this new computer an plumb forgot to post! ACK! Sorry 'bout that.

The question at hand is:
crawl
Does the American Board of Forensic Entomology, which studies insects and other arthropods to solve crimes, boast over 1,000 members?

You said:
Fact 16
Crap 6

ant
Can that be right?!?

Hmmmm... It would seem that CSI has done a great job of advertising for this particular speciality! Here's what the Calendar Cockroaches say:

It's that which only a dung beetle can love!
beetle
"The ABFE has only eight members, and there are only 63 forensic entomologists worldwide. By examining insects found at crime scenes -- magg0ts, blowflies, beetles, and the like -- a forensic entomologist determines such pertinent facts as time and location of death. The first documented use of forensic entomology was in 1235, when Sun Tz'u, a 'death investigator' in China and author of a book entitled 'The Washing Away of Wrongs,' solved a slashing murder by asking all suspected villagers to persent their scythes. Flies were attracted to one scythe, drawn by decaying tissue residue. The murderer immediately confessed."


Gosh, I bet Gil Grissom wishes it was that easy to get a confession!

Kudos to Mamapours for being very close to guessing the right number of members. She said 10. So close!
wrong

Okay, onward and sideways! Here's the question for Friday, February 17, 2006:

When Babe Ruth played baseball, he sometimes wore a spinach leaf under his hat.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Crap. Spinach wasn't invented until 1952.

Crap. Popeye was an original....

popeye

And Spinach is the original performance enhancing substance?

Few Americans realize that we can blame this whole athletic doping problem on Elzie Segar, the cartoonist who, 76 years ago, created Popeye the Sailor Man and prophesied much of 21st-century American culture. Really, think about it. It’s all there. Olive Oyl was plainly anorexic. Most contemporary Americans live on Wimpy’s diet and have his waistline. And we all know that Bluto (cleaned up a bit) has been reincarnated as a Fox News talk-show host.

Then there’s Popeye himself, the first celebrity user of performance-enhancing substances. We all know that wasn’t really spinach in that can. Judging from the way it pumped him up, it had to be some kind of designer steroid, or maybe some good old-fashioned human growth hormone. No doubt about it. Popeye was the original BALCO lab rat..........(continued)
