This is just too good not to front page Steven -
This is classic - geoff @ Uncommon Misconceptions takes these News agencies to task with a little something we in the biz like to call -- research and facts
But today we have something much, much sillier than bad research. What we have instead is the AP and CBS news being completely duped by a new age guru from Australia:-Snip-
The Pwnage: I don’t really expect the AP and CBS to know anything about heat transfer. But I do expect them to do a rudimentary background check on their source. A quick Google search reveals one of his biographies, where we find:
He plays classical guitar exceptionally well, enjoys windsurfing (he calls himself a speed addict here), takes time to practice meditation, telepathy and astral travel. His hobbies include challenging paradigms and paradoxes in geophysics, studying puzzling properties of electro-photonic glow (Auras) using Kirlian camera, learning to see human aura, discovering purpose of life, as well as organizing controversial seminars.
Man... you gotta love that!

well, except for the classical guitar part, anyway...
