I CANNOT STAND THIS BEARD ANOTHER MINUTE. It’s itchy, it irritates, and it has failed to produce throngs of women knocking my door down. Any arguments for or against, before I do the deed?

Trend followers can be sold just about anything, especially when you put a wild price tag on it and throw in a bunch of sciencey-sounding language. How about water that is more like water than water is? Skeptoid takes on "structured water" this week: skep.us/1006

RIP to Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Bigfoot’s representative in academia. I spoke with him a couple of times, and found him to be friendly and happy to engage with a skeptic; worth pointing out because I’ve heard others say the opposite about him. I’ll miss having him around.
