Okay, that's quite the mouthful. What I meant to say was OoPS, as in Ocean of Pseudoscience Week.The hillbillies over at Southern Fried Science have cooked up more than just beer in a coffee pot this time. To quote Andrew:
Over the next week we'll be tackling our favorite ocean myths, challenging conventional (yet strangely unsupported) wisdom about effective marine management and policy, smacking down some bad ocean science, blatant greenwashing, and straight up bull.This could get ugly real fast, folks. So I'm planning on grabbing front row seats to the freak show.
We'll also be counting down our favorite sea monsters all week long.
I just hope they don't burst my bubble on that old chestnut, "The ocean is blue because it reflects the color of the sky." For mercy's sake, leave me something to hold on to!

Or one of my faves: "We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about our own oceans."
Now, I always thought the legend was that the sky is blue because it reflects the color of the ocean...
clearly we have a tautological problem here!
