New Bostonist Post, Plus COTW!
First of all, I just posted a fantastic article on Bostonist about an up-and-coming dead guy in the Catholic Church who may have HEALED a local man of his condition, but really probably didn’t.

Speedy Comment o’ the Week!
Apologies for my continued absence from Skepchick, but I’ve spent this week showing a fellow skeptic around Boston and being as geeky as possible. Since Tuesday, we’ve won first place in pub trivia with a few Boston Skeptics, investigated the quality of a local brewery, got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Chandra Control Center and the Harvard Smithsonian Center for…
