Yeah, I'm a bit of a night owl. Usually I hit the sack about 1 am, but tonight I stayed up later 'cause I was listening to Micheal Shermer on C2C.

In case anyone is unaware, Shermer is the founder of the Skeptic Society. I have on my website a section that quotes a chapter from his book "Why People Believe Weird Things". That section covers "Twenty-five Fallacies That Lead Us to Believe Weird Things". I feel it's one of many excellent sources to help guide one to understanding critical and skeptical thinking. I feel this is important in order to keep from deluding ourselves.

I invite everyone to take a look at it if they get the chance.
