Jumping on the bandwagon for more woo

By oracknows on July 18, 2006.

If Your Friday Dose of Woo from me isn't enough woo for you, now Medgadget has inaugurated a new feature it calls Pseudoscience Friday (its first target: bioresonance testing). Between the two blogs, plus the Amazing Randi, that ought to be all the woo any skeptic could want to see debunked every Friday!

In the meantime, since I mentioned it so late, it can serve as a little appetizer before the skeptical feast that Mike's Weekly Skeptic Rant is poised to deliver on Thursday when he hosts the Skeptics' Circle.

The guys at Medgaget did have a good idea. They're taking requests, and, now, shamlessly, so am I. I may have gone a little overboard with last Friday's Dose of Woo, but there must be lots of other targets out there. Heck, I know there are.

The Amazing Meeting 5.5, Plantation, FL
I wrote this last night in Florida, but the hotel wifi was on the blink, so I couldn't get it on-line. I am now at Newark airport in New Jersey, having just eaten my first bowl of matzoh soup. Oy vey, good stuff! Audience frowning in concentration I've been to gaming conventions and academic…
The Great Desecration
It is finished. I wonder how many of our Catholic friends have heard of the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215? This is the event where many of their important dogmas were codified, including the ideas of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, that the Eucharist was the sacrament that only properly ordained…

Dropped a comment by there in response to a quack who dropped by and played the Pasteur card.

He also cited various rates of improvement. My response: "And what did the placebo group report?"
