I rented the movie, "The Lake House", staring Keano Reeves & Sandra Bullock. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen. They went light on the romance, light on the drama, light on the special effects, and light on the logic. The plot was a magic mailbox connected Keano & Sandra together...

I was buying "The God Delusion" at Barnes and Noble this morning, when the cashier, a woman I'm guessing in her early twenties, noticed the Penn and Teller blurb on the cover. She went on for the next minute about how cool she thought Penn was, how she loved his radio show, and how to get it...

Interfax Found it posted Here While scientist (so called) Angelina Malakovskaya does not seem to appear in the English half of the Internet (outside of this article), but "she shows up in quite a few number of articles, but only in Russian." I have challenged him to the Million Dollar Prize...

Saw this one on my way into work today, and I'm still having trouble believing they could be so blatant. It read: Tithe if you love Jesus Anybody can honk So now just having faith and being a good person isn't enough, you've got to buy Jesus' love? Sorry, if I've got to buy love I'd rather...

Aside from my dream list of interviews, I will be around with my laptop and mics for anyone who wishes to do a short interview for skepticality. Derek and Swoopy will be editing my material, so I can't guarantee you'll get airplay, but there's always that chance. Find me and do an interview...

I used to find Oreillys rants on the evil "secualrists" to be comical. But Ive been thinking that a war on the bible thumpers would be a good idea! Someone needs to stand up to them. The religious right has become more organizied and I dont like it. I wouldnt mind going on the offensive...

http://muller.lbl.gov/TRessays/21-Bizarre_Math.htm Interesting essay on first read, though I haven't completely thought it through yet. What do you think? ETA: 666! This post is the work of the devil.

A friend of mine recently had an episode where she fainted in her front yard. She says she has done this every once in a while, ever since she was a child. She has seen doctors abuot it, but they haven't been able to dtermine a cause. This time, when she saw her doctor, he asked her - and her...

Bethke's back, with the promise of an even more spectacular demonstration, at or before TAM3! Now...he has not specified a blinding, but just in case, I think it would be helpful to have a list started. 1) Mercutio

I had a separate issue with this column, and one that is neither completely the fault of Randi nor Mary, the reader reporting this incident, but illustrates a couple of important misperceptions about psychiatric care and trying to make armchair diagnoses without having the full picture. It was...

Today, driving down the road I passed a church with a sign board out front. Normally I am amused by the stupid aphorisms displayed, like 'Without God's light there is no sight.' but the one I saw actually scared me as I drove by. "You and God are a majority!" Anyone who holds religion...

Ian's "coincidence" quiz thread made me notice this one: "Coincidence is God remaining anonymous." This particular church, Lutheran BTW, is famous for having signs that make you say "Whaaat....????"

The libs scream bloody murder because some ACT-UP hag gets her hair pulled while interrupting a Bush campaign event; a 3 year old girl holds a Bush/Cheney sign at at Edwards rally and gets bullied by union thugs, college punks, and post-menopausal harridans? The smug slimeball who did is (on...

This little quiz comes out of my psychology textbook, and I thought it was interesting. Read each profile, then select the profile which best fits you (please choose just one profile): <table width="50%" style="font-size : 10pt;"><tr><td valign="top">A</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">creative...

On the freeways of los angeles county, there are some big clunky old electronic signs that are supposed to give drivers a heads up about trouble further down the road, with messages like "105 East jammed - Take 91". One time I saw a message that said "This is a test message." I remember from...

I was just browsing an online album of photos taken during the protests in New York yesterday. http://www.lisawhiteman.com/hfiles/photoalbum/rnc/rncframeset.html I came across this photo of an anti-protester. What is the point he is trying to make with his "content rich" sign? Jesus is an arms...

A thought just occured to me, and I don't know what to make of it. Examine the evolution of religion through the ages versus the evolution of science. As near as we can tell, religion started as a form of animism, then progressed into a primitive goddess-worship, which was very similar...

Does this mean "peace"?

http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/23/1082616327809.html Sounds like a good reason for Powell not to sign on for a second term, (although if you ask me, the question is academic now, for Bush won't be getting a second term). Powell was excluded from the planning for the war because he...

The Rapure Ready Board on the peekaboo booby (thanks to Iconoclast for bringing it to our attention in the other topic): http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?threadid=129685 Anyway, I thought I'd cross-post this link into its own topic for a hoot.

Saw this one while driving to work this morning - not sure if I remember exactly, but it was something like: "Many people believing something does not make it true" I'm hoping I can get a shot of it with my digital camera tomorrow.

these are real. I saw them; but sadly did not have a camera with me. "Don't doubt, just believe." "Think its hot now? hell will be hotter." (from the summer) "Never miss a chance to shut up."

Just talked to Linda on the phone! You would not believe who is coming to TAM2!!!! Big names Big magic! And if you have a LOT of money, you can buy a tour and a dinner to die for!!!! This thing is just getting bigger and bigger!!!! Linda will be posting this soon, but just guess...

More or less...he was asking for a sign from God... http://www.newsnet5.com/news/2310197/detail.html
