Hemant Mehta is giving away copies of his upcoming book, I Sold My Soul on eBay: Viewing Faith through an Atheist’s Eyes. [via The Carnival of the Godless #62]
Are you up for promoting the Godless?
Also look over the Skeptics Circle #56: The Credulity of the Masses featuring an excellent post titled Astrology - A Real Class Act. In this post, Eclectics Anonymous overviews Katja Furthmann’s PhD work titled, The Stars Don’t Lie: A linguistic analysis of published horoscopes.
My favorite of the 7 ingredients for a “well written” horoscope:
- Use “Umbrella Terms”
- The Theory of Relativity
- Pseudoscience is nice
Fantastic reading… now where’s my horoscope for today?
