Skepticism

  • Afternoon Inquisition 10.20

    I’m too depressed about not making it to Boston for Rebecca’s Rockin’ Birthday Blowout Bonanza Bash ’08 to think of a question today, so I’m outsourcing. Today’s AI is brought to you by the good folks at Mr. Elyse’s office (by “folks”, I mean Bill) who want the skeptics, (and by “skeptics”, I mean YOU!) to weigh in: Good vs.…

  • Skepchick Quickies, 10.20

    CPR + “Stayin’ Alive” = WIN. (Thanks, Emory.) Atheism and politics: The NY Times covers a Colorado atheist rally that Teen Skepchick’s own Elles spoke at. Video game LittleBigPlanet delayed over Qur’an quotes in soundtrack. (Thanks, Ja7on.) And, just because, here’s a summary of a bunch of sex-is-good-for-you scientific studies. (Thanks to hotphysicsboy.)

I have my own boobs, so I’m not…

  • monsters, magic, and books

    I’ve been reading a lot lately, but nothing to do with skepticism. Instead, I have been filling my head with monsters, magic, and fantasy. Over the past couple of weeks, I read all four of the Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer. And two of my favorite authors have come out with new books that I’ll be reading over the weekend: A…

  • Afternoon Inquisition, 10.17

    First, a big thank you to Elyse for filling in for me last week while I was er… saving puppies and babies and feeding the homeless… and not screwing off at all…  I’m back for this week and I’m talking about money again with a two-part question: What, if anything, are you changing in your life to save money in…

    I’ve always enjoyed books more than the movies made from them. Is the book really always better, and why? (feel free to give examples)
