It's that time of year again: Time to review some of the psychic predictions made for last year. Sylvia Browne is out of the picture now, but as Illuminutti has pointed out, she made one last set of predictions that turned out to be very wrong. How did the upstart psychics fare? Nikki, "Psychic to... Continue Reading →
This "special report" on Ebola in the U.S. by Alex Jones was uploaded on Saturday. It's clearly just a teaser for Sunday's radio broadcast, but it's worth examining here because it contains several of the absurd disease factoids that Jones repeats ad nauseum on his show - and we all know what can happen...

Mike "Health Ranger" Adams is on the warpath.

And the Winesickle tracks have turned out to be bear tracks. Meanwhile, in Utah, amateur fossil-hunter Todd May is very excited about the stupid rock... Continue Reading →
It's good to be back. My ThinkPad finally succumbed to a series of long-term ailments two weeks ago (Hans has a computer, but can't type with cloven hoofs. I think he just uses it for porn).
