Infantile Magnetic Attraction and Repulsion: Clinical Trials in the Field of Infant Psycho-Gravitation

Danylo Burdenko

This study provides evidence, through trials involving nine subjects, supporting the contention that infants hold the ability to “magnetically” attract and repulse objects for which they hold either deep-rooted desire or disdain. Three infant cohorts participated in two tests that propelled them into the air in both the direction of, and away from, a series of three objects. A control cohort was apathetic toward all objects used.

This valuable study exposes the intrinsic motivation of vegetarians to possess firearms and comes at a time when society is capable of affecting a change in the course of history by limiting crimes of vegilence.

Dissecting the Myth of the 'Strong Ant': A Scientific Comparison of the Compression Resistance of Ants and Humans

Sergei Rzhechnyik

Ten series of strength trials were performed involving two separate insect species, one human, and weights of varying mass. The resulting data reveal an obvious gap between the relative strength of the insects and the human. These results clearly demonstrate the superiority of humans and the fallacy of the ‘strong ant’ myth.
