Ooh, 16 September? I’m sorry, I think I have an appointment to scald my skin off with a bucket of boiling hot vomit that night. I guess I’ll have to pass.
Lawrence Krauss should look at that and be reassured that this too shall pass. You can be an alleged rapist and still be invited to share the stage with one of the Big Names, and that Big Name will still welcome you. It’s quite the cozy little boys’ club.

Well look, there’s a lot I don’t like about Shermer, and the allegations got a bit more credible since your initial airing of a complaint, with the Mark Oppenheimer story. But the status of the case is that many people still seem to think there is reasonable doubt. Here’s the RationalWiki take on it, which I would say doesn’t look good for him. But, he still has his SciAm column.

Yeah, I don’t know if two boiling vomit scaldings are worth it.

One should never say, “___ couldn’t get worse.”
That angers more gods more wrathfully than any other assertion in any language at any time.

No, PZ, I wasn’t thinking that. Not ever. Not even once.

I wonder about the ad …
is there any significance to the assigning of the
left-brain right-brain
to
French and English
and
hair-boy and bike-shorts
?
billyjoe says
chigau,
If there isn’t, I’m sure you will be able to find one. ;)
(BTW: You are looking at the brain front-on, so left-brain is on your right)
