Welcome to the Skeptic Summary, a quick week-in-review guide to the Skeptic Friends Network and the rest of the skeptical world.
Forum Highlights:Freaky-Deaky, baby - Boo!
SETI - SETI@Home news!
SFN Email Upgrade! - If you’ve got a skepticfriends.org email address, or you’d like one, read this thread.
Editor’s Choice: Thought I’d Share… - Ever been baffled by simple shapes? You’re not alone. Kil’s Evil Pick:Free the West Memphis Three - Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40. New Articles:Rationally Speaking, N. 53, September 2004: Monty Python’s Guide to Philosophy - Are secular humanists a bunch of dreary negative Nellies? Monty Python and Massimo say ‘no’.
