Be Somebody, or be Somebody’s Fool
Hey, what’s that behind you? Is that a spider? Oh, ha ha ha, April Fool! Okay, got that out of the way. You know what April Fool’s Day is? Amateur night. The real con artists are at it 365 days a year. Like Sylvia Browne. Anyway . . . I’m happy to announce that this week’s Skeptics’ Guide to the…

Then I remembered the row of Guinnesses purchased last night by some overly celebretory men and lined up before me. Then I remembered that those weren’t just Guinnesses, those were car bombs, each dark and creamy beer concealing within it a…
