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:Bill O’Reilly Lies, for Snake - Wanna see a train wreck?
Mr. Hovid goes to Blacksburg - Mark your calendars, folks.
State of the Union, 2006 - Apparently, it’s “strong.”
Editor’s Choice: Mrs. King died in an “alternative clinic” - The thought of Dr. Gupta reading even one SFN thread makes me all a-tingle! Best of January, 2006:Topic of the Month: Mozina vs. The Crackpot Index - Well, there were no TOTM nominations, and this thread still cracks me up.
Post of the Month: It’s not your turn - GeeMack tries to figure out a professional psychic. Kil’s Evil Pick:John Stossel Takes on Kevin Trudeau on 20/20 - This is a must see!! Chat Highlights:Sunday: Indoor bandy, Six degrees of Kevin Bacon, HTPC, DVD-recorders and why Philips sucks, how Windows© Genuine Advantage works and doesn’t work, truth as in different God-myths and the human condition in those myths, blessing animals, Landover Baptist, Ghosts and thought transmissions. Derren Brown playing mind-games, TAM4 report from Kil.
Wednesday: Started slow again. Stuffed peppers. Ricky had some Ramen and things picked up. We either have to discard the eggroll hypothesis or expand on it some. Very serious stuff. TAM4, a special creationist, the curative power of SFN, Valiant Dancer gets a promotion, Mab gets a ticket, and I get to write the chat summary again… sigh.
