    Every time I hear the word "chemtrail" used seriously I am tempted to take a shot, but I would not be able to function. I could actually buy Monsanto doing something that screwed up but then, Maui is full of hippies, stoners and conspiracy theorists, so I take most everything like that well salted.

    I just recently finished reading Ben Goldacre's Bad Science book. If you ever want to get depressed about what people will believe even when faced with hard evidence then I'd recommend it.

    It was a reader of his blog that got Gillian McKeith banned from using the word "Dr" on her "health" bars thanks to an Advertising Standards Agency complaint. Ben Goldacre got his dead cat the exact same PHD through a mail-order process.

    The group "Christian Scientists" are neither Christian nor Scientists. They're misguided idiots or horrible people, depending. (Please note that this post in no way should lower esteem for actual Christians.)

    Oregon had to close a loophole in their state law recently (and I hope other states like this follow) in that a parent guilty of manslaughter on their kid (aka praying instead of giving them a known remedy (in this case, INSULIN)) can no longer be found not guilty because of "spiritual" belief. *sighs* People.

    god internships are bullshit

    you are a multi-million dollar company and your website looks like a cat's asshole

    don't ask for a contract "internship" designer to do it for you for free, you stupid cheap people

    this is how you got yourself into this mess in the first place!

    My friend is currently seeing a girl (whom one of my OTHER friends used to date) who believes in all this magical majestic mumbo-jumbo

    She constantly talks about The Secret, and how it is real

    And the example she uses

    Is the best

    "I was at work one day and really tired and really wanted a coffee. But I was too tired to go get one. So I thought really hard about coffee and envisioned myself drinking one for about 10 minutes when all of a sudden my boss shows up with a coffee for me! How can you disprove THAT???"

    She then goes on to say that it scared her so much that she is afraid of her own psychic powers

    My friend went into this thing knowing full well what her mindset is (both from me and my other friend constantly warning him)

    So now of course he gets made fun of for his poor life decisions

    On top of all of this she is also one of those GAMER GURLZ that go out of their way to really let you know that they are a girl that plays videogames and that as such they are like, totally rare and unique

    I am going to make up my own alternative therapy

    Perineum Pinning

    It's like a cross between acupuncture and reflexology

    You stick needles into gullible people's taints, all the while the person you are puncturing is thanking you for making their psoriasis feel so good

    It seems like a win/win for me, since it might be the first time I've ever been paid to do what I truly love

    Never have I been so amazed by the overwhelming stupidity of society than throughout this book.

    Did you know that all of your chi energy is focused in your perineum? It's true! The blood vessels in your durf are all connected to the heart, and by manipulating them via razor sharp, jagged needles thrust into your chode, you can cure almost any medical problem related to your heart in any way. For instance, dandruff wouldn't be on your head if your heart were to stop beating! Many people do not know this. Here at the Grundle Institute of Therapy, we work exclusively with the best, sharpest needles and all-natural salt, guaranteed to have your fleshy fun bridge bleeding out all those bad humours or your $300 back.

    I got put into a special 2-hour-a-week-thing with the pastor at my Catholic school for standing up for a gay student in religion class

    She kept giving him extra "home work" and very focused readings all around what she called his "life style choice"

    Eventually I called her out on her bullshit and told her in front of the whole class that she was being bigoted and that one passage she loves to quote to him so much about a man lying with a man is followed by the instruction to stone misbehaving children to death and why isn't she teaching us that

    Boom I was in the office and got to spend 2 hours every Friday with our pastor

    Your dog had a pretty good job in the afterlife, but has been laid off recently and is considering after-death suicide

    Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it in this life; these things only go one way

    So there's really only one option for you if you really want to help your dead dog out

    Even though it's against the law for me to suggest this option as professional advice, I will hint very heavily at what it is
