Skepticism
Skepchick Quickies, 6.9
- Egypt criminalizes female genital mutilation. Also, raises the legal age of marriage to 18 for both men and women.
- NPR’s Science Friday takes a look at M. Night Shyamalan’s new film. (Thanks, Mark!)
- Man falls after receiving spirit, sues. Claims church liable for injuries sustained during healing service. (Thanks, Emory!)
- We can always use another irreverent look at the Creation Museum, couldn’t we?
I never thought I’d ever say this–
THREE CHEERS AND A HUZZAH FOR EGYPT!!!
hurray for egypt finally catching up to the 20th century.
As for the man in church, if he’s healed by a tap on the head, why not just smack him again and cure him again? Problem solved.
Oh, did you guys link to Scalzi’s take on the CM?
Yeah, cause we all know how well criminalizing other stuff has worked out *cough* marijuana *cough*. Just kidding, I’m sure there was some kind of logical fallacy in that joke. But I at least give them props for “trying”.
