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.jpg 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.

100 is on the way

Category: AnnouncementsBlog carnivalsSkepticism/critical thinkingSkeptics' Circle
Posted on: November 16, 2008 10:15 AM, by Orac

As hard as it is to believe, it's almost here. In a mere four days on Thursday, November 20, the 100th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle will land right here at its mothership for the first time in three years. As of this morning, I only have six submissions. That's not nearly enough! I need more, lots more, by 5 PM EST on Wednesday. Send them to orac@scienceblogs.com.

Don't make me start perusing skeptical blogs to raid and pillage posts as I see fit. You wouldn't like that, and neither would I, as I somehow managed to schedule myself to do this little shindig during a particularly insane week that may require a late nighter Wednesday in order to get this done. You know how cranky Orac gets when he doesn't get his downtime, although rest deprivation does sometimes make his circuits work in unusual (and entertaining) ways.

I got nothing. But I'll see if anything strikes my fancy.

Would something like this fit?

I think I've already submitted something, so not my fault!

Sorry to annoy you with something you've probably explained 99 times already, but what exactly is the Skeptic's Circle and what kind of posts, in particular, are you looking for? Thanks!

Obviously you didn't bother to click on the link to the Skeptics' Circle above and click on the "Schedule, Archive, and Guidelines" link.

Totally OT, but:

Motl Brody was buried today.

Well, have sent in two posts - I hope they're in on time, this just happened to coincide with some rather nasty technical problems on my site!

Adina - click the first link that Orac gives, everything is there...
