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.

The 123rd Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle is fast approaching. This time around it will be here on Thursday, November 5. That means skeptical bloggers out there don't have much time to get their best recent work to Colin at Blue Genes for inclusion.

Happeh,
Are you really this insecure?

Happeh has been nuked yet again. Clearly a little tweaking of the spam filters is in order once again.

He was here and gone and I missed it.
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking I should be happeh about it. . .
