New Token Skeptic Podcast Out! Hope-opathy And Dowsing For Bombs

by podblack on March 3, 2010

Head on over to Token Skeptic and subscribe on iTunes! Token Skeptic Episode Eleven is now out!

Why is Professor Hood featuring on this episode of the Token Skeptic? Because if you follow his blog at www.brucemhood.wordpress.com, you’ll see how he is very much involved with some rather ‘unbelievable’ developments in the UK.

Firstly, his efforts to challenge fake bomb-detectors – costly dowsing-rod-like devices being used by the military in countries world-wide – has been broadcast on BBC news and discussed by governments in places like Thailand and Iraq.

Secondly, he has some very interesting insights on homeopathy (or as he put it, hope-o-pathy!) and the report on the funding of it in the UK by the National Health Services. His site has practically exploded with comments by the skeptically-minded due to his breakdown of ‘why hopeopathy is not likely to disappear.’

I first read that as “dowsing for boobs” and I thought “about time someone thought of that!”

Loved the FARK.com headline for the news article about the withdrawal of funding from UK homeopathy – “Give them 10 pounds and tell them it will work better because it’s diluted…”
