Science is PISSED: "You just cannot believe what you read in British newspapers. I'd further call on my academic colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic never to speak to British reporters. You have absolutely no control over what they say about you and your scientific research." [Via]
They don't care if it's true or not. It's like telling reporters from the National Enquirer, "No, there are actually no medical records to show that Britney Spears gave birth to a three-headed cow-baby fathered by the ghost of Michael Jackson. That would be biologically impossible, for a couple of reasons."
(It's because MJ didn't like sex with girls.)
The British blinded me with science.
