And Then Some News

With respect to April Fools’ Day I have been very fortunate. On April 9, 2005, I had an essay published in The (Toledo) Blade entitled “No joke: ‘He who laughs, lasts.’” Then, on March 31, 2007, I had a second essay celebrating April Fools’ Day published in the same paper entitled, “Tomorrow a day when fools rush in.” So, to celebrate the day in 2008 I have chosen an entirely different tack; I have decided to be serious. For Saturday, March 29, the essay is not for the feint of heart. Grab your dictionary, pump up your cerebral cortex, and take a shot at this highbrow report of an experiment entitled, “A Gathering of Scientists.”

Saturday Essay - March 29, 2008
A Gathering of Scientists
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
For the purposes of the experiment, a standard, objective evaluation form was constructed by a paid, outside, contracted agency. This was the evaluation form used independently by each of the groups. Monitoring of the use of the form was performed by the West Lake Detective Agency. The firm was paid to make certain all judgments were independent and that no group decision making occurred during the evaluation period.
