    How I got duped by crop circle science. Nancy Talbott vs. Matt Williams

    I think this illustrates why you need to pick your evidence. Even if you find a perfect crop circle aerially flattened by some nonreproducible to you mechanism, there's alway the possibility that some guy in a maker lab made a plasma accelerator out of a weedeater.

    Checklist 4 Lucid Dreaming

    I lucid dream sometimes. As a sidenote good infographic. I think there needs to be more afterlife evidence infographics, perhaps that what is needed to convince skeptics. I know I sometimes really get something when I see an infographic.
