Celebrate the JREF’s Season of Reason

Updated: 2010-11-30 01:27:03

This time of year it seems that just about everyone celebrates some kind of holiday. Some are explicitly religious in nature, such as Christmas or Hanukkah, while some secular holidays are being celebrated at about the same time. It is in the spirit (pardon the pun) of furthering critical thinking & skepticism among the population [...]

Report From TAM OZ

Updated: 2010-11-29 16:08:43

The first TAM Australia meeting is now over. I always find these events a good opportunity to take the pulse of the skeptical movement. So what did I learn? First – Australia has a vibrant and fun skeptical movement. Richard Saunders, Eran Segev, Rachael Dunlop, and Joanne Benhamu did a fabulous job of organizing and [...]

Uluru in 3D

Updated: 2010-11-24 10:48:11

My wife and I are here in Australia for The Amazing Meeting, and we took an extra day to make a sidetrip to Uluru (aka Ayers Rock), the largest known single piece of rock in the world. It’s a giant piece of sandstone that was upthrust and is now tumbling in the alluvium, though it’s [...]

Help Launching New Show

Updated: 2010-11-22 15:10:22

You may remember The Skeptologists – a TV pilot featuring a group of skeptical investigators taking on a range of pseudoscientific claims. Well – that project is not over, although it has morphed a bit. The working title of the show is now The Edge. And, rather than try to get a commercial TV executive [...]

Catholic Rant

Updated: 2010-11-16 05:30:21

Some more procrastination material for you all. I’m guessing some of you might not be too friendly towards the Catholic Church — this is a segment from comedian Bo Burnham’s latest DVD Words, Words, Words, and he isn’t too friendly either. Contains strong language.

Go and watch this. Even if you have exams at the moment, as I know some of you do — take 15 minutes of procrastination time and watch this. Enjoy :)

Rodial Limited, “boob job cream” manufacturer attempts to stifle scientific comment

Updated: 2010-11-11 06:20:10

Once again, insane UK libel laws are being exploited in an attempt to stifle legitimate health concerns by qualified scientists. A Drunken Madman has again called for the Streisand Effect, this time to expose Rodial Limited, the manufacturer of a so-called “boob job” cream. The article the libel case is based on is at The [...]

Ghost Hunting Science vs Pseudoscience

Updated: 2010-11-08 12:55:00

I was recently pointed to a conversation taking place in the Northern Iowan – a student newspaper of the University of Northern Iowa. The debate is about whether ghost-hunting is science or pseudoscience. The first salvo was apparently fired by Michael Dippold, who took the skeptical position. There is also a response by Peter Allen, [...]
