Thanks to inspiration from Phil and this video:
I am pleased to inform you that while I write this I am taking a bite out of a moist and delicious EXTERMICAKE… and you almost certainly are not.
But what kind of a cruel blogger would I be if I didn’t show picture to [...]

Update: Poe’s Law.
Back in middle school science classes, when we finished all our work, we were allowed to read through my teacher’s old issues of Popular Science magazine. During this time I once heard an otherwise rather thick, snobby, and not particularly pleasant girl say the most truthful thing…
Popular Science is an oxymoron.
I then also [...]

Here’s a chat log between me and one of my friends last night:
[21:29] Amar: richard dawkins is attacking harry potter
[21:30] Elles: That was random.
[21:30] Amar: but true
[21:31] Amar: hes going crazy
[21:32] Elles: …?
[21:33] Amar: hes a loon

Hello again, assorted readers! I return.
Every single conspiracy theorist is an idiot. Here’s why:
That is an M4 Carbine. As it says in big letters at the top of the image, but I needed a way to start the sentence. I think that’s enough filler so on to the content.

I was strolling through a lounge one day…
When I saw this lying on a table:
I became suspicious at once. I’ve never quite understood how the word “natural” makes something automatically better than another thing.
Natural steaks, natural food, natural medicine.
Hell, my mum buys Arrowhead water instead of the generic brand because she thinks it has more [...]

On Saturday, October 11, 2008, I had just gotten out of bed and, for whatever reason that I can’t recall now, started talking to Elyse of The Skepchick Empire on Skype. Anyway, in the [...]

I don’t like MSN. Awful news source, even when they’re not advertising for horoscopes in their “news” articles.
First, I must give them kudos for having a sensible article on a new discovery of dinosaur tracks. Palaeontology for the win!
But, then I simply must pick a bone with an article titled “U.S. Pilot Ordered To Shoot [...]

Observe…
Behold, an advertisement for numerology on Bad Astronomy. Let us all marvel in the irony of a numerology advertisement on a skeptic blog.
Oh, and by the way…
Death From the Skies comes out in four hours! WOOT!

Update: Technorati has restored all blogs mentioned in this toast. You can all go back to ranting and raving now. Although I would still like to know what happened in the first place.
As I was checking Technorati late last night, I noticed that something peculiar had happened. My blog was no longer on Technorati.
The page [...]

Here’s an article in the New York Times about the church-state separation rally that I recently spoke at (I’m not in it, fyi).
From the time last spring that Jeanette Norman first heard of Amendment 48 in Colorado, she simmered with the desire to do something about it.
Conservative Christians and their allies had collected more than [...]
