Happy Halloween everyone! Here are some links to things I’ve been wanting to blog about but haven’t found the time.

The local skeptics group had their first SkeptiCamp. I didn’t make it out but they’re posting videos of their talks on the Winnipeg Skeptics Blog. There are three so far and I believe more to come.

This Church has a built-in dinosaur – and I don’t mean the Ken Hamm sadle-wearing kind.

Here‘s the blog of the 15-year-old Rhys Morgan, who is suffering from Crohn’s disease, and it bravely (and effectively) fighting against quacks who are selling bleach (BLEACH!!!) to Crohn’s sufferers and claiming that it’s a miracle cure.

This guy saved another man’s life using physics. Science!

Old Weather is a cool citizen science project that allows you help transcribe WWI-era ships’ weather observations to help build climate models.

And, just because, here are some pictures of the recent snowfall here and the pumpkins I carved:
Your pumpkins are AWESOME!
It snowed where you are? Honey, I’m so sorry! I’m just not ready for snow…
Yup it snowed but it melted by the afternoon that day…it won’t start sticking around for another couple of weeks or so. That’s Winnipeg!
Thanks very much for your link to the Winnipeg Skeptics I found Arthur Schafer’s talk an inspiration. And, I liked the way in which, at the end, he included ‘criticisms’ when asking for, “comments, questions and criticisms’. The whole thing, including speaker and audience, was a great exercise in clear thinking.
Snow already! Although, here in mid-Wales, we are a couple of degrees north of you in Winnipeg the chances of us getting more than a day or two of snow during the Winter are slight.
