Wealth of worthless, imbecilic information, that is.
I mean, there's more actual scientific information from actual scientists that isn't nonsense than you could read in 100,000 lifetimes.
You can go to a local college library and read scientific journals (and some free online.) If that's over your head you can read Scientific American, or even go to Wikipedia (which is mostly good and surprising pretty accurate for any non-politicized topic.)
So why do people turn to clueless nitwits like Quayle for scientific information?
Why do people slow down and gawk at a car crash in the opposite lane of the highway?
Same reason...
