I’d offer my condolences, but how can I do that and not have it interpreted that I somehow endorse their “Hey! Watch me stick this fork into the electrical outlet!” lifestyle.
In fact I’ll just come out and say it... these guys got the brains of a radish!
Ignorant and selfish - look what their self-aggrandizing fantasies have left their families with.
So how many peer-reviewed scientific papers have you published?
Here’s a list of the papers published by those killed and those by others that include TWISTEX data:
