| Professor at centre of climate change email row stands down temporarily |
| 2009-12-02 |
| Professor Phil Jones, the director of a research unit at the centre of a row over climate change data, has said he will stand down from the post while an independent review takes place. Sceptics claim the emails show climate change data was being manipulated. Prof Jones, director of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), has said he ''absolutely'' stands by the science produced by the centre - and that suggestions of a conspiracy to alter evidence to support a theory of man-made global warming were ''complete rubbish''. |

| #3 As an aside the Indiana Jones Crystal Skull Movie had a spot where Jones is forced to find the Skull in a area 51 warehouse, and one of the crates he pases has the end broken and shows the Ark, it's just a quick glimpse, but funny all the same, Investigated My ass, warehoused and forgotten is more the truth here. |

| #2 Like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark - "The Ark is being examined by top men in the field, Dr. Jones." (Dr. Jones? Oh, the irony!) Indy says, "Which ...top men?" ('cuz he knows them all.) The CIA guy responds, "Top. Men." |
