I remember when this guy first showed up on CNN, it was a big deal. Not much about it since.
A perfect example of how mass-media does a crappy job of reporting science. Evem IF they manage to get the facts right and present them in a coherant way, they still never do any follow up once the big splash dies out.
Yes, the media tends to rush to publish the 'news' but lacks in the follow up. The one exception to this rule, is if the story is related to a Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears or any other similar 'celebrity.
I read the shark died 4 hours after this video was taken.

Hey GB!

Now if only we could get Paris, Brittany and Lindsay to do a little scientific research...
That's a great idea!
How about an update by Brittany on CERN?
She'd probably want to wear a custom made science bikini.
Hey GB! What, may I ask, is a 'science bikini?
Is it as small as a molecule?
Is it atomically correct?
It's the Brittany/Lindsay/Paris version of a lab coat.
Ok, I'm getting the idea! I expect the lab coat version does not have a pocket protector?
Of course it has a pocket protector! It's just a really small one for really small pens.
Lol!
