Usually it's about dogs, cats and birds. Last Wednesday there was a small piece about fish tanks and how "A slimey tank isn't a bad thing", but of course..the common myths had to fly as well. Their info came from a "Dr. Donald Lewis, professor in the Department of pathobiology at the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University".Looks like your small local newspaper plagarized a July 2001 article from Texas A&M's student newspaper; http://newsarchives.tamu.edu/stories/01/070901-5.html ...lending more liklihood to the possibility of journalistic interpretation errors (as the original article was by a student reporter). *There's a lesson here; if you're going to rip an article off, at least know enough to decide if its a good one. *Don't cheat off of someone who's dumber than you, kids! :-) Dr. Donald Lewis is no longer on the faculty list at the Dept. of Verterinary Pathobiology; http://vtpb-www.cvm.tamu.edu/people/faculty.html Given that a Google Scholar search indicates he hasn't published since the mid-90's (and his reccomendation of an under-gravel filter ;-) he's probably retired. Regards DaveZ Atom Weaver OOOOOO, Dave got the dirt !! No wonder they aren't emailing me back about it, lol. Well, forget emailing them again, I will be calling them about this. Thanks Dave! You're a peach. = ) |
