Why? Because I love Doctor Who and Benny Hill (although I was never much of an Eminem fan) and because it's funny, that's why. Besides, it's a beautiful Saturday, and I'm feeling too lazy to post anything substantive this morning. That's all the reason I need.
Respectful Insolence
"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)
Who (or what) is Orac?
Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)
Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Wow. That is just so silly. I like it.

My favorite remains the Benny Hinn/Benny Hill crossover.

Somebody has way too much time on their hands - I'm glad to say.

This is great. Thanks.

That's what was wrong with Love and Monsters. Instead of doing a Scooby Doo homage, they should have done Benny Hill!

Brilliant!

Funny. I was a big fan of Benny Hill.
