Skeptics Circle #84

Craving a little doubt in your life? Check out the 84th edition of the Skeptics’ Circle of blog posts, hosted at Archaeoporn. As usual in such blog carnivals, there’s a lot of stuff to keep you reading when your boss isn’t looking. Since I work at home, my boss is never looking. Which is good, because sometimes I’m not wearing pants.

At least he didn’t say “underpants” (of course, in the UK, its the same thing!)

“… sometimes I’m not wearing pants.”

Many people wondered about that when the Bad Astronomy uStream Channel was being streamed.

Many still do.

Is that some kind of astronomer dress code?

What? Isn’t Mrs BA at home? You’re playing with fire implying you don’t have a boss at home Phil.

Didn’t you guys see his calendar page? Apparently Phil observes in that state, also.
