Um... If you shaved and tattooed a polar bear (or more likely, a portion of a polar bear big enough for a DHARMA logo and no more), by the time the Losties crashed on the Island, the hair would have grown back, hiding the tattoo.
I read this article in the Independent earlier today. Unfortunately, their central conceit – that the work that has been licensed by the HFEA should automatically receive funding – is completely flawed. Any grant applications submitted to the Research Councils, or for that matter to charitable bodies such as the Wellcome Trust, must be and are assessed on their scientific merits. The Independent article provides no evidence that this has not occurred in this case, save for hearsay and innuendo.
It's a flying insect. The dark bit is the body and the red blur is the wings. It's out of focus because it is much nearer to the camera than the aeroplane that the photographer was focusing on.
Uhurua seems to be hugging Spock rather than the other way around. He seems uncomfortable. Strikes me as not very culturally sensitive of her. No diversity training at Starfleet Academy?
This kind of childish morality play around things like smoking really sickens me. Smoking is "bad" because it is extremely bad for your health. This is scientific and medical fact. It is not "bad" because it is something that only evil people do, and making out that it is implies that you believe people are too dumb to understand the facts. It's so fucking patronising!
