Skepticism

  • Napoleon’s boner part

    Here’s a question you’ve never asked:  What ever happened to Napoleon’s penis? Or maybe you have asked it.  I don’t know.  I just know I never asked… probably because the answer was so much more disturbing and disgusting than I could ever hope. Either way, the answer to the question, “What ever happened to Napoleon’s penis?” is: It’s in some…

  • Skeptical about retail therapy?

    No. At least as a short-term pick-me-up. I think as long as you aren’t spending money you don’t have, or buying things you don’t actually want, there’s nothing wrong with embracing the feelgood factor associated with splashing out on a luxury item. I have had a thoroughly difficult few weeks and today, after finally coming to the end of a…

  • Join Us In New York! Saturday 26th July.

    Yes, that’s right, the English Skepchick (ME!) is going to be in New York Ciddy along with Rebecca, Masala, Stacey and Elyse, being very LOUD, demanding and generally hilarious.

  • Calling All Ohio Skeptics!

    As much as I love connecting with all of you fine folk here online at Skepchick, and various other web hangouts where like-minded people tend to congregate, I decided it was about time I meet some more skeptics in real life. So – where are my Ohio skeptics? I’m working on reviving the old Central Ohioans for Rational Inquiry group,…

  • Bisexual Species

    I totally stole that title from the article that inspired this post. I just can’t wait to see how many unintentional hits we get from the buzz words in this entry. We’ve all heard/read about homosexuality in animals, which seems to support the claim that homosexuality is natural, despite the obvious lack of synergy in the reproductive department. But the…
