Hmm...
Most science is about disproving a theory or providing a best guess framework which works with current data.
There is not much Proof in science, mainly theory and supposition and a lot of thinking why the experiment did not produce the expected result.
The great truth about scientists is they start from the basis of "I Don't Know" and usually end with "I think it may be the case that..."
Unlike religion which starts with "This is the unadulterated truth and we are right and you will burn in eternal hellfire and damnation if you even begin to think contrary to what was written in this book by bronze age peasants" and ends with "Let's Kill People!".

On one of the Dave Allen programmes over the weekend it mentioned a conversation between an atheist & a man of the cloth.
MOC - You are rather like a blind man in a darkened room searching for a black cat that isn't there.
A - In a way, we are both like a blind man in a darkened room searching for a black cat that isn't there - except you have found it.

Freaky experience of the day

Glad you survived - it's not a lot of fun, is it? You have my sympathies. Hopefully, you didn't fall off?
(Most people do the first time or two, particularly when they run out of water and don't have everything dead straight when grip returns).
It was brown trouser time my first time!

Nothing happened, but I do have some experience with my car and I wasn't turning either (luckily). Go straight, ease of the gas, but don't brake. It was over in about a second or so.

That's where people go wrong - panic and hit the brakes. Does a grand total of nothing, until you run out of water... ouch!

Broken ribs are nasty - but collarbones are worse!

Oh collarbones...
I got them when felt from a wild horse...
I was able to broke all my fingers (hand and leg), arm, ribs, leg (calf bone), knee cap and collarbone. All this before 25...
My mother tells I was known to the local hospital so when father drove into the parking lot they gout out the instruments...
I was also stitched(?) all over but that's an other story...

Ducati 750, on loan from the shop for the day, brand new with 300 miles on the clock.
Pulling away from the lights in traffic, car ahead braked, I hit the wrong brake (used to Moto Guzzi by then - foot pedal works one front and the rear disk) locked rear wheel, got it back, slid sideways into kerb, broke collar bone. £1500 worth of damage to the bike, £5000 worth of operation to the collarbone, frozen shoulder as a result of operation, life of hell for 4 years...oops. Total speed: 10 mph

ouch
least it wasnt a sheep
I had a mate who managed to hit sheep on the way home from the pub on a friday for 4 weeks on the trot, the following Sat he didnt turn up, he was in Hospital, seemingly he was half way home and a sheep jumped over a wall and totaled him and his CX.
We think it was either related to one of earlier victims or was a specially imported hitsheep
