Quadrant never was (and) now never will be the leading general intellectual journal of ideas, literature, poetry and historical and political debate published in Australia.

Work? I’m busy busy! I have travel plans (AGAIN!) and back-pay to sort and today was just stats and more stats. Do check out http://skepticlawyer.com.au; they are keeping their finger on the pulse – I, on the other hand, will fall asleep on the couch this evening to the tune of ‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles’.

Reality is always bareable. Reality Rocks B-)

Hows your work going, or is it “don’t ask”

Trying to pull together the motivation to construct a video on dualism. maybe today will be the day it gets made.

good luck with your work,

Thor’Ungal.

Thor’Ungal – with humor like that, you make the reality… well, almost bearable.

No, I’m sorry about the daft system! Appears I’ve got some spam getting their way through too, so will have to be a bit stricter with what gets through for a bit… bleah. But I do check to make sure they get posted!

Sorry for the repeat.

Bleeding heck,

The rest of that SMH article get’s no better. how do these people sleep at night with those kind of arguments.

In other news:

The faking of Precambrian Rabbits is further evidence of the precariousness of the Theory of evolution. Even though this wasn’t absolute proof of creationism it once again demonstrates what shaky ground modern naturalistic biology is on.

Another year of Dowser testing demonstrates the veracity of this flourishing new technology.

My Dreams might not actually predict the future but that is just further evidence that when it does it will be big.

Sorry did that one to death,

Thor’Ungal.

The SMH article indeed puts a not-so-skeptical slant on the topic. They completely deviate from the issue at hand!

What it really showed is Quadrant needs to pay a uni student $50 to check the references of each article. It’s nothing like the Sokal hoax, as you say. Anon sure has tickets on him/herself… Maybe if he/she gets a book out of it?

Oh my goodness.

What cretin at the SMH wrote that. So now even false articles designed to uncover postmodernist folly is proof of the evils of science.

In latest news faked fossil of cambrian rabbit proves the possibility of modern evolutionary biology…um I mean Darwinism being incorect. Whilst not being expressed it anticipates evidence for creationism and against Evolutionism.

Yea I know it’s a strawman but I think I could get good at that.
