Hooray for alliteration! However, not-yay for the lack of coffeemug pictures. I can't seem to find my file of coffee mug images on my flash drive, so I can't really upload any nifty new mugs. But, don't fret, for the mugs will be up soon! In the meantime, it looks like it's filler for us!
I'd like to point our attentions to a witty comic series taking on the issues behind the science vs. pseudoscience debates: Cectic. From acupuncture and astral projection to homeopathy to Xenu, this comic satirizes the stances of the tinfoil hats and the ultra-religious and the medical quacks in an effort to promote reason in society. One in particular I thought I should share:
Essentially, that's what all tinfoil hat arguments boil down to, even long after the "evidences" for their claims are found to have been faked. In fact, a few of the posters in the background have been listed in the Museum of Hoaxes website. Another favourite is the one about the chemtrails, but I'll let you check them all out. Really, read Cectic.com, which updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
And remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. When you've got an extraordinary claim with mediocre proof, you're gonna look pretty silly.
