Ignunt Fool of the Week

This week’s ignunt fool of the week is…
Ok, sorry. I’m not doing one this week. I just got done with all of my high school final exams so I haven’t had much time to go searching the world for ignunt fools (although they usually seem to come to me first).
I promise to have one next [...]

Oh Poe!

Remember banana man?

According to Phil Plait, he has a blog! It’s only a little stupider than the banana video, which leads me to wonder if Ray Comfort is actually an actor who’s a closet evolutionist making creationists look stupider than they actually are. Creationists can’t be that stupid, can they? Oh… [...]

Skiffy and Crystal Skulls

To celebrate the opening of the new Indiana Jones film, I’m doing a post making fun of the myth being used as a plot device. Don’t get me wrong, I love Indiana Jones and if it weren’t for finals this week, I would have seen the film already, but I hate it when myths are [...]

Earlier this week, we were doing [...]

There Isn’t Hope for the World

A while back, I did a post titled “There is Hope for the World” talking about how I’d seen a show which, for once, instead of presenting a bunch of pseudoscientific bull was actually debunking the tricks psychics had used to fool people. I had begun that post talking about how I was annoyed with [...]

Get Richard Dawkins on Oprah: Update

I’ve made a Facebook group for getting Richard Dawkins on Oprah. Teehee!
And while I’m at it, those of you who haven’t friended me yet ought to do so. I promise that I won’t ever send you a chain letter because I’m not that stupid.

Think About Hard Things

Ever have one of those great ideas but find out that somebody has beat you to it? My idea was to inspire the other teenagers around me to be something more than anti-intellectual slackers who goof off.
And then I found out that there is a pair (twins!) of teenagers named Alex and Breet Harris that [...]

Ignunt Fool of the Week

This week’s ignunt fool of the week is…
James Randi
Why? He thought that Uri Geller didn’t have real telekinetic powers when he clearly demonstrated his spoon-bending powers multiple times like in this video which eliminates all possibility of trickery!

Alright, alright… Just kidding (and Mr. Randi, if you’re reading this, I’m terribly sorry [...]
