The upcoming 10:23 campaign has meant that homeopathy is on most skeptic’s minds. A recent blog post by @endless_psych got me thinking about being open minded and what evidence it would take to convince me that homeopathy had something to it. Aside from the obvious positive randomised, placebo (what’s the fucking difference between a homeopathic sugar [...]

Those of you that know me will know that I am a season ticket holder at Southend United. Many years ago while watching another crap team come to Southend United score a completely undeserved goal (I maybe bias here) in the first ten minutes and then spend the subsequent 90 minutes employing an array of [...]

I’m very excited about this week’s Friday Comic and that’s because it’s Tree Lobsters.

American televangelist and all round cretinous tosser Pat Robinson came under fire last week when he blamed a pact with the devil for the earthquake in Haiti.

It would appear that we do since the press seem determined to use this current bout of cold weather to fuel the fire of climate change denial. The Daily Express are probably the worst culprit with their front page headline [...]

Kat Akingbade of Science of Scams will be talking at London Skeptics in the Pub on Wednesday so here’s one of their fantastic videos. To see more go to the Science of Scams website. I love the Science of Scams videos; we all like to think that we can’t be fooled, (especially sceptics!) but these [...]
