A caveman mocks a creationist on TV.
Promoting a ridiculous sit-com based on an insurance commercial is bad enough, but I almost can’t bring myself to give a shout out to that stupid show with the idiotic women who spend each day carefully destroying anything feminists have achieved to date. BUT, this is too good. A few weeks ago, Sherri Shepherd (a “comedian” and the newest co-host…

Back in Boston!
Where to start? I’m back from the Amazing Adventure 2 in Alaska, and I’m beat. I had an absolute blast hanging out with old friends and meeting some pretty wonderful new ones, with a dash of skepticism thrown in for fun. Since I last posted, on Friday our merry crew of skeptics stopped at Icy Strait Point, a totally made-up…

Does this make my vulva look fat?
You know, it’s bad enough, as a woman of a certain age, that I have to attempt to keep my underarms from flapping and my stomach sucked in. But now I have to have firm labia too??? If you haven’t heard of “vaginal rejuvenation” you can check out an example here. Oh, and don’t miss the “wonder woman” makeover: “Wonder…

Not a good month for skepticism.
Early reports on the Genii (magic magazine) forums that Jerry Andrus has died (and now also on his web site). Jerry has long been a staple at The Amaz!ng Meeting in Las Vegas, which is where I first met him. He was a longtime friend of James Randi and a true genius in the magic world, as demonstrated by his…

Good day, bad day.
Cross-posted at publicradioquest.com. So Sunday night my friend Perry died, and I spent the evening downing whiskey in his memory. He’d appreciate that. Monday morning was full of that post-bad news haze, where you have to first figure out if that was a dream and then kind of come to terms with it again. The bizarre thing is that I…

Robotics, Erotics, and Psychotics
Hey, it’s the new Skeptics’ Circle and it’s the GIANT ROBOT EDITION over on BronzeDog’s blog. Go check out the skeptical goodness. I don’t think Skepchick is in this time because I can’t keep up with these things, which really upsets me because I want MY own robot. Who out there wants to be the official person in charge of…

Unicorns are real. The Bible says so.
From those crazy kids at This Week in Science: the Unicorn Museum! This makes me laugh like mad, because I love unicorns for all their cheesy, rainbow-riding beauty. How wonderful to discover they have the same amount of legitimacy going for them as other proven scientific concepts like creationism! From Job 39:9-12: 9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee,…
