Bigdog linked to this article in as a "source" to bolster his ridiculous claim that radiometric dating is without merit.  I actually read this article and it is indeed FULL of gems...however, as a physicist, the Epic Fail that is to follow made me smile a smile of smilieness....ouch...

"It seems very possible that spontaneous disintegration of radioactive elements are related to the action of cosmic rays and the rate of disintegration varying from century to century according to the intensity of the rays."

EPIC FURRY LARP FAIL!!!!  If you do not understand why this is epic fail, then you are not educated enough to hold an opinion regarding the validity of radiometric dating.  If you do know why this is epic fail, then don't tell bigdog...I want to see if he can figure it out himself.
