Just received this link in an email. I've just returned from a somewhat lengthy train trip and don't have the strength to work out the trick yet but I have...
The trick is quite trivial. The simple mathematical manipulations performed always yield a multiple of 9 in the range from 9 to 81. Therefore, the computer...
Can someone give me their thoughts on the Meta Programs that are often talked about in NLP (they are also talked about as thinking styles). I have read the...

Hi there. New to the list, I'm a confirmed skeptic but also a bit of an enigma in that I'm a Quaker, I dabble in tarot and I loathe Penn and Teller's...
Yeah, right! Like Al-quaeda announced 9-11 before it happened. Whenever they announce it beforehand you can pretty much be sure it's a bluff. If it's real...
I don't know if folks here have seen this show ('Bullshit!') which plays on Showtime, but it's supposedly a show by skeptics for skeptics. I take issue with...
I would like to know if anyone has any good skeptic or none related websites. Ash ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired...
I love Mythbusters! I like any kind of show on Urban Legends. A really good website is www.snopes.com ... __________________________________________________ ...
... Having memorized numbers like sine (1), sqrt2 and 1/7 (=0.142857 repeated over & over) really helped when my calculator batteries went dead during my...
I'd like to get an idea of what "moves" other skeptics. What are your motivations and basic belief structures regarding "your" skepticism? Here are mine: My...
"Penn & Teller's "Bullshit!" show is entertainment, not serious science." I dunno, when someone on TV calls something "Bullshit!" I usually demand that they...

When did I ask for sites? I think you have me confused with Ash Whirt, who did ask for skeptic websites. I did nothing of the sort. Also, I'm not looking...
