It's not the scientists who do the "peppering"; it's usually

It's depressing because if you do a review at the end of the year of the coming innovations on those sites, and see how low the number that actually become something is, you realized it's about the same as cataloging how many psychic predictions come true in a year.


How good can the psychic be, if you have to make reservations for
