Thank you WriterV! I too do not have any direct involvement in scientific research but always had a fascination for various branches of science. When I come across news items (like the one I am posting below) where ignorant folks make pseudoscientific claims about everything under (and around!) the sun, I try to post them here. We need some comic relief in life once in a while!

Indian cows’ milk is rich in gold, claims Modi ally
The Times, UK:
Cow’s milk may be falling out of fashion in the West but India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party can’t get enough of it. Dilip Ghosh, the BJP president in West Bengal, told a rally this week: “Desi cows have a hump on their back. When sunlight falls on the hump it produces gold. That is why the milk of desi cow is yellowish, lightly golden. It contains gold.”
