		<description>That was my thought, PL. Last year, after my daughter was born, I would cuddle her downstairs while my wife was upstairs trying to get some sleep. There are a *lot* of infomercials on at 4 in the morning for a *wide* variety of products.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Was someone asleep at the switch over there, or are they just hoping to catch a few atheist early-birds at their most defenseless? That fucked up my day more than any exam.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If it was 4am, I&#039;m hoping it was just an infomercial.</description>

		<description>I have to agree with the total scriptedness (is that a word?) of MythBusters. It makes the show downright painful to watch, especially since it has so much untapped potential.

Dirty Jobs? I love Mike Rowe. Aside from his rugged attractiveness, he&#039;s actually very intelligent. A few months ago I stumbled upon this video...

		<description>I don&#039;t know if it was just an o-dark-thirty hallucination or some horrible waking nightmare or what, but last Friday morning at 4:00 am I flipped on the TV (couldn&#039;t sleep - big exam) and saw Joyce Meyers on the Science channel.  Yes, I&#039;m talking about the female god-hucksterette, on the same channel with shows about physics, astronomy and medicine (some of which are really good).  Was someone asleep at the switch over there, or are they just hoping to catch a few atheist early-birds at their most defenseless?  That fucked up my day more than any exam.</description>

		<description>Mythbusters has gone downhill this last season. Many times they either half-assed the experiments or just completely dropped the ball. They screw up and say the myth is busted when they just flat out messed it up. 

If anything is busted, it&#039;s them. Lately anyway.</description>

		<description>I love all the flack I get from people at my school because I don&#039;t believe in ghosts. 

For us skeptics, I offer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/251866&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;South Park. Opens in new window.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a clip from the goodness known as South Park&lt;/a&gt;.

Also, excellent picture.</description>

		<description>My wife LOVES the paranormal shows, much to my shigrin.  She doesn&#039;t buy any of it and is constantly yelling along with me things like, &quot;wtf? that&#039;s no spirit orb!  That&#039;s an out of focus dust particle!&quot;

Still, there&#039;s a market.  Sigh.

You know, I&#039;d actually welcome a show with true scientific analysis of the &quot;haunted&quot; places in the same format as Ghost Hunters or whatever, as long as real science was being performed.  The fact is they take it as fact that EVP can actually contain real ghostly voices.  Even if a real voice is discovered (and I have yet to hear anything other than microphone noise or mpeg compression artifacts mistaken for phonics), how do you know it&#039;s from a ghost?  What if it&#039;s an alien?  Or God?  Or some dude on his ham radio?</description>

		<description>Actually, I think I saw it somewhere else. A woman put it in a comment, as I recall. She must have been quoting your source.

I just read that Mark Morford article. The comments are frightening. I give up, I really do. After they&#039;ve finished raping the planet and have rendered it completely incapable of  sustaining life, the last Christian will, with his/her dying breath, still be cursing the liberals, the atheists and the gays, blaming them for civilization&#039;s demise. 

We joke about this all the time, but they really are incapable of rational thought.</description>

		<description>Hmm...I actually enjoy the ghost hunting shows.  It&#039;s odd believing in ghosts and being atheists, but I&#039;ve had enough weird shit happen to myself that makes me question what is going on.  However, I don&#039;t necessarily believe it is a soul or in any way, shape or form religiously related.  I put it in the realm of something that science has yet to explain.

Though watching those shows, half the time I say &quot;really?&quot; when they say they can make some sense out of a phrase on an EVP or when they claim a misty cloud like form is the shape of a person.</description>

		<description>Someone on some blog somewhere said, &quot;It&#039;s a vagina, not a clown car.&quot;

(Which &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=greenhouse-bananas&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Scientific American article. Opens in new window.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;reminds me of this&lt;/a&gt;.)

Very cool photo, Ron.</description>
