Skeptic’s Circle #106

The new edition of Skeptic’s Circle is now available at Disillusioned Worlds. Some great reads are included (along with Naughty Elmo).

My favorites:

Happy Jihad’s House of Pancakes tells one of the silliest of urban legends in one of the funniest ways I’ve heard yet.
The Skepbitch reveals a shocking, but not surprising attempt to place the blame for Australia’s recent wildfire disaster on abortion rights laws. Apparently, all disasters, natural or man-made (e.g., the World Trade Center attacks) are punishments from God for allowing what some believe are immoral acts to occur in our society.
TechSkeptic discusses the pathetic new practice of putting real medications in products that claim to be “natural” (translation: unproven/alternative/complimentary).
