Here is an interesting article on a exploratory study on acupuncture and hot flashes. What do people think of the study design?

Here's an amateur video of events on 9-11 obviously shot by a Denier. It's not very fun to watch all the way through due to the constant jerkiness of the camera, but two JREFers appear in the video. At about 4:15 Gravy puts in a brief appearance; unfortunately the camera arrives just as he's...

Wich are the TV programs that best support the "official" 9-11 story? Wich are the shows whose establishment connections cause the CTers to defenestrate thier boob-tubes in disgust? Here are my personal picks: 1.) Stargate: SG-1 One thing that conspiracists and TV sci-fi writers have in...

one thing that bothers me is when shows on channels like history, discovery and TLC have "experts" giving questionable or outright incorrect info, especially when they are evidently doing so to sway the audience toward their desired conclusion. one thing i saw a night or two ago was about...

This makes up a large part of my TV watching. Far more interesting/entertaining than the rotted cabbage that is prime time TV... Anyway mine: Biography (the show and the channel) History Channel (probably my fav) Military Channel (mostly when they show "Wings" or the famous battles/campaigns...

Saw this one on my way into work today, and I'm still having trouble believing they could be so blatant. It read: Tithe if you love Jesus Anybody can honk So now just having faith and being a good person isn't enough, you've got to buy Jesus' love? Sorry, if I've got to buy love I'd rather...

http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/case_studies/magnets/index.html I've always known of the placebo affect with magnets & how its a bunch of poop. But this survey says otherwise, and its a website all about statistics. I'm not that good with numbers so perhaps you guys could have a look & tell me...

I would like to know everyone's opinions about why people are fascinated by blinking and flashing lights in real life, tv shows and science fiction tv shows and science fiction movies? I think that it's mesmerising and that might be why people are fascinated or attracted by blinking lights. I...

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1120876249044 Burried as a footnote in this article, barely reported at all in western media, you would think ending such a restriction after more tha 20 years would get more attention. Congratulations, you now have...

From today's news This is very good news, because acupuncture is one quack treatment that seems to be accepted by a fairly large number of otherwise rational people. Of course, pin-heads will still continue to claim that it works for other things. Give it time. They'll all be debunked.

This was on the BBC news this morning. This confirms a large Danish study which showed no change in autism rates before and after MMR introduction. The only caveat to this study is that the Japanese MMR is not the same as the UK MMR (it differs in the strain of mumps virus). And yet there...

hillary gets religious There have been many news articles suggesting the democratic party was considering moving to a more religious chatter focus in order to sway voters in the 'red' states. Hillary has been an outspoken supporter and defender of abortion rights since forever. Now she is...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4165209.stm Is this good news for China and the world?

This game show, despite cultivating a reputation of being educational, had an ad for some homeopathic flu "remedy", making me question whether they have any standards for sponsorship, or whether they're willing to whore themselves out to any scam with ad money.

Don't worry, this is about religion. This article was published in the local paper yesterday. Several of the points made make me so angry that I do not know how to express it in words. An example: And the author objected to this, saying it takes away his freedoms. I do not understand...

Jerry Falwell was interviewed on CNN where he described what he thought was the most appropriate method for teaching evolution: the evidence for and against evolution should be presented to the students, along with other models, and the students decide for themselves. The funny part is the...

One of my local radio stations now has one of the talking to the dead shows. It really, really, pisses me off to hear someone manipulating people's emotions just for profit. Not only that, but cold reading over the phone is absolutely horrible. I realize that I may not be able to get the show...

Am I the only one who listens to the religious shows on the radio or TV just for the humor value?
