What, Skinner's been proved wrong again?

Golly, I'm really surprised that someone who based all his theories on human psychology on the idea that rats understand what "reward" and "punishment" are could ever be disbelieved.

I mean, it's obvious that when a rat gets an electric shock instead of a lump of cheese, he'll think to himself: "Oh dear, I am receiving punishment for not going the other way in the maze. I am such a bad and dishonest rat. I shall try harder to follow the rules of etiquette and good behaviour better in future."

A bleeding idiot, Skinner -- but psychology isn't a science, so real scientists don't look at it too deeply, meaning that he could get away with cr@p like that.

Here's some more believable psychology:

If you put five blokes in a room, and one of them tells another that he's wrong about something, several pissing contests will start within five minutes.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
