The 57th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: The Zebra Spilled its Plastinia on Bemis

Although I'm rather puzzled by the reference to zebras spilling their plastinia, I can't argue that, once again, Martin has come through with another great collection of skeptical blogging as he hosts the 57th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle. Your duty, should you decide to accept it, is to head on over there and check it out. You won't regret it.

Next up is Geek Counterpoint, who will be hosting on Thursday, April 12. If you're a blogger with a skeptical bent, it's time to start thinking about subjects or claims that could use a little critical thinking applied to them. Also, if you think you have what it takes to host a meeting yourself, check out the guidelines and schedule, as well as these guidelines for hosting, and then drop me a line at oracknows@gmail.com.

The 56th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: The credulity of the masses

it's that time again! The 56th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle has been posted over at Science Natura. Join Shalini as she tries to avoid the credulity of the masses, with varying degrees of success.

Next up is fellow ScienceBlogger Martin at Aardvarchaeology for the next time around on March 29. Start getting your skeptical articles ready and join us there in a fortnight.

Finally, if you're interested in hosting sometime, check out the schedule and guidelines and what is involved in hosting, and then drop me a line at oracknows@gmail.com.

The 55th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: The Number of the Skeptic (or, EoR has your number)

The 55th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle has been posted at The Second Sight, and EoR has

...bowed to the higher energies of the universe in organising this edition based on the numerological vibrations of the submitters. Numerology is, of course, a science that has been proven by thousands of years of traditional use, dating back to at least Babylonian times. And they probably got it directly from the Atlanteans. Who got it from the interdimensional Martians.

Glad to hear it.

I think. (It sounds as though he's going to see the new Jim Carrey movie.)

Of course, as always, EoR has done a bang-up job of rounding up the best skeptical blogging of the last fortnight. Go check it out

Next up is Scientia Natura, who will take a turn at hosting on March 15 (and just posted an excellent deconstruction of some of the more common fallacies of HIV/AIDS "skeptics"). Be sure to start getting more great material ready to submit to Shalini.

Finally, as always, if you're interested in hosting, check out the guidelines and the hosts' primer and drop me a line.
