Read all about it!

It's interesting how little we know about even basic stuff like the taste receptors that we may or may not have on our tongues, isn't it?

Yes! You find the coolest stuf on the BBC news site. I love links like this. There's not often much to say about them, so people don't post to the threads very much, but please don't take that to mean we don't read and enjoy these interesting and cool science links! Keep 'em coming!

Sure guys! I don't worry too much about it when my science-y threads drop off the front page rapidly. As you say, the stories are interesting, but often there isn't really any need to say anything about them. I've thought about creating a warehouse thread like my Interesting, Space Related News thread, but I suspect that things that get posted in that thread are missed by many people, whereas the individual threads at least flash by everyone's eyes. And every now and then one of the individual threads will take off in an interesting conversational direction.

No, not ranch dressing.

Tartar sauce and ketchup.
