It’s hard when you fall if you’re the one who has always been well behaved. You aren’t used to people being mad at you. Disliking you, yes. But mad? No. Not for more than those minor annoyances that occur when people know each other very well and/or spend too much time together. So even though [...]

The UK Health Protection Agency reviewed treatments for electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and success was reported with "neutralizing chemical dilution, antioxidant treatment, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acupuncture and Shiatsu".

Say what??

The Health Protection Agency is an independent UK organisation that was set up by the government in 2003 to protect the public from threats to their health from infectious diseases and environmental hazards.

It does this by providing advice and information to the general public, to health professionals such as doctors and nurses, and to national and local government.

From April 2013 the HPA will become part of Public Health England.

Put aside those petty squabbles in the pub, lay to rest your arguments about tiny flags and sportswear bans and stop worrying about how it’s Political-Correctness-gone-mad-next-they’ll-have-us-all-speaking-bloody-Muslim-or-something, because it’s now officially official – England is the most ‘footie’ mad country in the world. It’s true, we’re number 1. We love the whole footie thing, we do. Can’t [...]

Guess what?!

Never mind.  You read the title.  Didn't you.  Well, in case you didn't, there is now a Mad Skeptic Mobile App.  It's free, has no adds, and is swanky in a way that makes you want to cry.  Did I mention it includes artwork by my daughter?

If you have an iPhone, you're shit out of luck if you want a dedicated app.  Apple requires a $99 fee for someone to put out a free app.  I when I read that, I remembered one of the reasons I hate Apple as much as I do, right before reason #3 (users buy computers to be expensive fashion accessories) is good 'ole #2 -- Apple is a bunch of money grubbing douchebags.  Sorry.  It has to be said.  Don't fret though.  If you have an iPhone and want my words in your pocket, you can use the mobile site (link below).

Currently, the App lives for Android and Nokia as well as the mobile site.  Click on the appropriate QR and be whisked away to a magical land where fairies bash [...]
