- Results of Richard Wiseman’s Twitter experiment – Over 1000 people participated – so did we manage to psychically divine amongst ourselves any of Richard’s locations?
- Holocaust Museum guard shot by white supremacist – From bibliotequetress.
- Contaminants lurk in many ‘natural’ products – “One quarter of supplements tested by an independent company over the last decade have had some sort of problem.” From Some Canadian Skeptic.

I wonder if the good christian man in the Holocaust Museum shooting was inspired by the good christian man who shot the woman’s health doctor in Kansas? Are we about to see a rash of good christians killing in the name of jebus? Nothing shows what a good christian you are like your acts. Thank you Operation Rescue and the NRA for making these good christian acts possible. Without you and your good christian values these acts of good christianianty couldn’t have happened.
I read about the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday afternoon and was thereafter in the foulest of moods. It makes me physically ill to think that people still have the tendency to be so closed minded as to think they’re justified in their “vigilante” actions to kill others. I also noticed in the article that this man was of the notion that the Holocaust was staged or hadn’t really happened… which makes me wonder if he’s going to go to Flinstone Land near Flagstaff, AZ and shoot someone there… makes just as much sense…
It’s hard to have much faith in humanity after reading a story such as this. It makes me almost as sick as when I think about the tragedies embedded in Uganda due to Joseph Kony.
The DC area had some very crazy traffic patterns last evening since the shooting caused them to close the 14th street bridge, so many thousands of commuters had plenty of time to think about what a scumbag this guy is.
That’s pretty much what I did for an hour and a half. I don’t know if I would rather the guy survive to stand trial or do the world a favor and die.
