Tried bidding on Hrab, but someone’d already put in a bigger bid. Not that I can afford to go to London at the moment, but I thought I coulda given the tickets away.

Ah well. Bonne chance! to the rest of you.

So what you’re saying is that antiscience is bad, EXCEPT when you’re trying to raise money. I think there’s a word for that…

What’s next, a signed photo of Jenny to raise money for health issues?

I ordered mine at the end of July and it just arrived this past weekend. Haven’t had a chance to break it out yet, though.

Ghost Hunters International? Why is Phil giving those people any airtime?

If there’s one signed by the cast of “Enterprise”, the (surviving) Apollo astronauts, the cast of “Mythbusters” (or at least by Adam), or by David Tennant, let me know.

“There is nothing wrong with Ghost Hunters — if you take it as pure entertainment, which I do.”

Problem is, a number of people take it as fact. It is that factor that leads people toward the dark side. The message must be spread to take the show as entertainment. Just like those pychic ads say (at least the ones I’ve seen); “For entertainment only”

“And it’s a lot better than some of mindless droll out there.”

I know for a fact it’s not better than “The Universe”!
