Eeeek...ants!

K, this isn't really about skeptical stuff but it is about sciencey stuff. Does that count? We recently bought an ant farm which contains a blue gel instead of dirt. NASA used this when they took ants to space as dirt would have collapsed and killed the little critters.

Our industrious friends have been working night and day tunneling a new home for themselves. Very cool to watch.

Cool ant fact: All the ants you see outside are female. The males are bred selectively only for breeding purposes. Hmmm, I think they are on to something there.

Your Sins are Killing Your Children

By
"Do you need a healing?" is what the highway sign I passed asked me. Below that was the name Thurman Scrivner and the dates that he would be in town. When I got home I looked up Mr. Scrivner and discovered that he was your run of the mill faith healer. His The Living Savior Ministries website is full of testimonials from those he has "healed". There is a man who had both his legs crushed and a young girl with a severe peanut allergy. But the big one is his granddaughter Katlynn whom I will tell you about later. If you have a lifetime of free time to waste, you could also listen to his over 400 sermons either through the website or by having free DVDs mailed to you. Now I've never been to a healing and so even though I wasn't really in need of one, I thought I would go check it out and see what actually happens at these things. Naturally, I pictured the afflicted people on the stage in a state of rapture having their demons cast out and throwing away their ...

Some Quantum Woo for your Inner Soul

By
As we mosey through our insignificant little lives, we try to find a bit of meaning therein. Some people find it through the connections and relationships they cherish. Some through religion, community or career. And then there are those who discover meaning and joy in selling useless crap to gullible folks. The lovely webmasters at Inner Soul Technologies have certainly gone that route. I've been to several trade shows and Mind, Body, Wallet Expos and there are always plenty of purveyors of woo but one thing I noticed about them when we chat is that most of them seem to truly believe that what they are selling actually does what is claimed. A very nice and verbose magnetic jewelry hawker went on and on about the benefits of magnets. I imagine he must be the healthiest person in the world being surrounded with that much magnetism all day long! One lady at an expo enthusiastically waved her pyramid around my friend and aligned her chakras with great sincerity. I shall not give th...
