UFO Reports Spike After Media Events

You just watched Aliens, what are those lights in the sky?

It turns out that when you take 15 years of UFO and alien reports and stick them on a chronological timeline, the number of reports spike after major media events prominently featuring aliens and UFOs.  1978 was a big year because that’s [...]

The Reality of the Stimulus vs. Unemployment?

If this chart means what I think it means… yikes.  Perhaps this chart should be featured on FailBlog.org

Holy opposite effect, Batman!

How likely are you to survive an airline accident?

You will survive, most likely

Rather likely.  In fact, the chance of you surviving a general accident while flying a U.S. domestic airline is 95.7%.

And the word “accident” here doesn’t just mean a bumpy landing, it means:

Her pic is priceless.

She tried to blame the tatoo artist by claiming that she fell asleep while he went nuts on her face.

Oprah gets rightfully slammed by Newsweek

Oprah promoting "energy fields"

It wouldn’t necessarily wrong to label Oprah as the Queen of Wacky Pseudo-science.  She and her guests make claim after claim about alternative medicine and practices that either have,

Blogger’s Block

I just can’t think of anything to say here anymore. I find myself updating my Facebook profile more often than my blog. My Facebook profile probably gets more traffic, but the blog actually makes a little bit of money. The traffic on Facebook is more intimate while the potential blog audience is worldwide.
