I have a new theory as to why quackery and pseudoscience are more popular than the real thing: It's all about web design. Imagine how popular The Skeptics Guide to the Universe could be if the web site was as slick as this:

"Now is the time to stop believing, and begin to understand."

Make sure your speakers are on to hear the Flash message after you choose your language. In the Skeptics version of the Flash message, I would prefer to see Rebecca, and not Perry, in the jump suit. That's how I envision it.

WOW!

They had me hooked right up until they said they didn't have orgies. Darn.

I noticed that too. Why have orgies fallen so out of fashion these days? I kinda miss them.

Of course you shouldn't read any web site until you've checked it via Gematria:

Luckily, in this case, we're pretty good. The Ralian website is only 28% evil. In comparision Randi.org is 31% evil and theskepticsguide.org is a whopping 61% evil.

Stay away from them! ;^)
