This Week In Skepticism
Thursday, July 07, 2011
From one of my favorite sites, Skepchick, come a handful of articles dispelling the bullshit we tend to believe as gullible homo sapiens:
1) 7 'Ancient' Forms of Mysticism That Are Recent Inventions
2) 6 Things From History Everyone Pictures Incorrectly
3) Image Of Virgin Mary Appears In Bird Dropping On Area Family’s Truck (which is a phenomenon which we shall, from this point forward, refer to in the tags at the bottom of our posts by its proper name: Pareidolia)
The first two articles are from Cracked, and some of the best humor is in the captions below their pictures they use to illustrate their points. Pure hilarity.
I will admit to being duped by the Yoga myth; it is at least plausible as an "ancient" practice.
Around the Keg: shattering your preconceived notions since somewhere around 2005.
