seems to be a bit of a longshot

Hehe, won't be long before they have stories about Batboy and Elvis sightings.

No, I think they did that one already, something about them riding around the Ukraine in a UFO together...can't imagine why others don't view it as a legitimate newsource.

Pravda is the "New York Times" of Russia....
and just as accurate!

I really should dig up that report alluding to "the best of Pravda - 1960-1990". Before reading examples contained therein, I honestly thought the National Enquirer had the market cornered on matters regarding journalistic lunacy.

I agree with Heart. Pravda is just about as accurate as the NY Times. I think it's actually a pretty good source. But the science article is the "13th stroke, which cast doubt on all that had gone before." I also think it's either ignorant or disengenuous to compare the Pravda of 1960-1990 with today's Pravda.

Yes you are correct. They are far more full of crap now than under the Communists.

Well, Burned. Your unsupported opinion is certainly worth what we paid for it.
