The 89th Meeting of the Skeptics Circle: The "I'd rather be in Vegas" edition

Better late than never, they always say. Michael Meadon may have been a few hours later than the usual edition of the Skeptics' Circle, but when he finally delivered the 89th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle it was well worth the wait. He even showed me a promising new blogger:

But we won't let that stop us from having a bit of skeptical…
Yikes! How did I forget to plug the Skeptics' Circle? This time around, it's the Skeptics Circle #117: The Chiropractic Edition and it's here to readjust your subluxated skepticism. Or something. Either way, it's a hoot. I do fear one thing though. Mike Meadon referred to the Skeptics' Circle as "…
I'm afraid that I have been a bit remiss in my duties as the coordinator of the Skeptic's Circle. You see, today was a travel day, and I was heading to Chicago on business. Unfortunately, the Skeptics' Circle link was not posted very early this morning before I left (probably due to the fact that…

Oh snap! Running the risk of sounding like a bit of a tool, that's kind of like my favorite band shouting me out in a song.

Thank you for the mention!
