About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.Recommended

I believe that this entire blog post is comparable to asking for a definition of car that includes helicopter but excludes jet: utter nonsense. All 3 are vehicles and none of them are the same.
I move that bean bags are neither chairs nor stools, but rather are within the same category. All 3 are seats. A chair has a back while a stool does not. Others have noted this same point. A quick check of wiktionary.org confirms that this is correct.
If bloggers spent more time thinking and reading prior to writing then fewer people would waste time reading nonsense of the attitude "I have a misinformed opinion, therefore you should listen to me."
