It's another travel day for me tomorrow — I'm off to Skepticon II in Springfield, Missouri, where I'll be joining a whole group of interesting people. I notice I'm going to be giving two talks (hey, JT, nice surprise!), which shouldn't be a problem. The first one is going to be important: I'll be announcing the amazing atheist speciation event that has gone on without our knowing it, and afterwards we have to run off and breed madly, since obviously the only way an intellectual movement can expand is by brute force proliferative procreation. It should be fun! Now don't you wish you'd registered?

I'll have to think about what I'm going to say for the second talk. Maybe I should just spend an hour introducing Rebecca Watson, who gets to bring down the curtain on the whole affair. Otherwise, I'll just throw together a few slides and do an impromptu godless science talk. That's always easy.

Off to Skepticon...
As this goes live I’ll be heading to the airport, my purpose being to wing my way to Skepticon 7, where I’ll be speaking tomorrow on a little ditty I like to call The Central Dogma of Alternative Medicine. It’ll be fun, and I’m looking forward to it. However, in true Orac fashion, I haven’t…
'Tis a good day to #creozerg
I'm in Springfield, Missouri, and today at noon I'll be joining a mob of skeptics and atheists at the Gillioz Theater to prepare to hit the Creation Ministries of the Ozarks. We shall descend upon them as a horde and sweep through their "museum", documenting the foolishness and mocking the silly.…
