How to Spot a Fraud You'll have to go to the actual Times' webpage. i.e. URL = http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/science/24frau.html?_r=1 , to click on the link so that the captions can be read. 56K dialup beware. It's one of those huge astronomy graphics that displace the format when browsing comments.

That photo was my first thought.

Time magazine is running with that photo. Anything to make the US look bad is printable by the leftist media.

I downloaded the above picture to the left from whitehouse.gov on February 16, 1996. I wonder what brightness and contrast adjustment will do to it...

Is that a leash?

Actually, using that yellow turdban as a reference yardstick, it would look as an 8-inch shell, not a sixer. Where did they find 203 mm?

I'm glad the NYT is all over this scientific fraud thing. Wouldn't want the public to be misled, now would we?

Piece of cake. But the bottom left photo must have been at lower resolution than their original. Couldn't get the backbround right.

Aw, you can tell that one's a fake. The Jackelope's real enough, but have you ever seen a tree look like that?
