...but I'm too busy posting at Progressive Ruin, and that site takes precedence over this one.
But I'll hopefully be able to work out a way to post here more often as well.
Yes, it's the dreaded "I'm sorry I haven't posted much" post, the death-knell of many a blog. I hope it's not the death-knell of this one.
"Remote viewers" make up information and send it to the folks looking for missing adventurer Steve Fossett.
Get this, from the accompanying statement:
"We'll provide them with a more precise area, if they request/require it."
Well, that's big of you. "We could have sent you his exact location, but we'll wait 'til you beg us for it."
"World's first creationist museum opens in Kentucky"
"Lawrence Krauss, an author and physicist at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University, decided to view the museum first-hand.
"'It's really impressive, and it really gives the impression that they're talking about science at some point,' said Mr Krauss.
"Awarding marks out of five, 'I'd give it a four for technology, five for propaganda. As for content, I'd give it a negative five,' he said."
"The cat, in Zhengzhou city, gave birth to four kittens, one of which looks like a white poodle.
[...]
"'It looks very different from the other kittens, and its mouth, nose and paws are all dog-like,' says owner Zhang Qiming.""Zhang says he has had the cat for more than two years, and she has given birth before but never to a dog."
"Zoo pays feng shui expert to aid monkeys"
"The Los Angeles Zoo paid $4,500 to an expert in the ancient Chinese art of feng shui to ensure three endangered golden monkeys on loan from China can have a strong life force."
"'It's very experimental,' [feng shui expert Simona] Mainini said. 'We don't have any books on feng shui for monkeys. We just have to assume that Darwin is correct and that there is a connection and what is good for humans is good for monkeys.'"
Sylvia Browne's predictions for 2006, checked for accuracy.
>Jennifer Lopez should be careful with her health. She will also become pregnant.
Miss. J-Lo is in great health, though it was rumored in late 2005 that she might want to have a baby. To date, she has not.
"Over the years, Sylvia Browne has been the focus of a number of skeptical pages on the web, but I don't think that there has ever before been one site which focused solely on her. The goal of this site is to fill that void by providing a central place where she, her track record and all of her claims are examined and analyzed.
"Although I will be approaching the subject from a skeptical viewpoint (the name of the site should show that), I will try to do so in as fair and factual a manner as possible.
"Where I state a fact, I will try to back it up with references. Where I state an opinion, I will try to clearly label it as such.
"Is she a well-intentioned spiritual leader, with actual psychic powers? Is she a fraud, making money by callously manipulating and using the bereaved? Or is she something else entirely?
"This site will attempt to answer these questions."
People whose weak faith is easily shaken by knowledge about to open museum:
"The $27 million project, which also includes a planetarium, a special-effects theater, nature trails and a small lake, is privately funded by people who believe the Bible's first book, Genesis, is literally true.
"For them, a museum showing Christian schoolchildren and skeptics alike how the earth, animals, dinosaurs and humans were created in a six-day period about 6,000 years ago -- not over millions of years, as evolutionary science says -- is long overdue."
