129th Skeptics’ Circle: How the Discovery Channel has Fallen

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

(Super-awesome photograph by Ron Britton)
I haven’t been trying to neglect the blog lately. I was hoping to cut back to two or three articles per week, not two or three weeks per article. It’s amazing how merely re-prioritizing the blog from #1 hobby to #2 hobby has robbed it of so much attention. [...]

Brief Update

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

First of all, here’s a funny comic that I found over at God Lizard. I had to shrink it slightly to fit my margins. You can visit the original if you need it bigger.

Secondly, I just fished a funny comment out of the spam filter. It’s from somebody calling him/herself atheismisdead. [...]

Attention Creationists

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

I need to say something to the creationists in the audience.

I know this comes as a shock to you. It doesn’t surprise the rest of us, but we had to check your X-rays to make sure.

You’re probably wondering when this happened.

Frankly, I’m surprised that you’re surprised. Didn’t this tip you off every time [...]

Skeptics’ Circle Number 127; Skeptic Fail #10

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

[I wrote this article last night, then decided not to run it. I was going to rewrite it this morning with just a mention of the carnival and a recommendation for another article.
However, the last two comments made me decide to run this as is. The article only addresses those comments peripherally, but [...]

Darwin Was Wrong Will Return in a Moment

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I took a break from recounting the horrors of the Darwin Was Wrong conference, so I could fit in the Christmas-related posts. As soon as I get a reasonable amount of time (in a day or two), I will resume the tale.
It was worth the diversion. The Atomic Toy article got Stumbled-Upon, and [...]

More News about Coma Patient

An excerpt from the latest Bad Reporter:

[I'll return to blogging about my experience at the creationism seminar in a day or two. Right now I'm sick, so I don't feel like writing. I'm pretty sure I have whine flu. It's not as bad as swine flu. It's just bad enough to [...]

Looking for a Date?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

When I changed the appearance of this blog back in January, there were a number of little bugs that I had yet to fix. I haven’t had the time or energy to fix any of them. I already spend too much time on this blog; any time spent fixing means less time writing.
One [...]

My Proof is Gone!

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Oh no! My proof of the non-existence of Ceiling Cat has been destroyed!
For those of you keeping score at home, I did finally move out of that hotel two weeks ago today. I was in there for exactly nine weeks. There’s no excuse for them to have taken that long. At [...]
