The "Baloney Detection Kit" by Michael Shermer is an awesome video for science and skepticism. It was made through the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.

How can we make this video go viral?

Here's the video:

That seems to be a nice little presentation by Shermer of Carl Sagan's handy-dandy analysis kit. Just keep sending the link around the web. It'll no doubt enlighten a number viewers.

An anthropology instructor I knew would spend time in a lecture on the BDK each semester. Good for him. Akways like to see more and more of this in the general public arena.

Course, there are a number of nematodes out there who would go into a hissy fit and claim this was commie or satanism. Go figure.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson
