Science and Pseudoscience Tired of people asking you about your star sign? Fed-up with the ever increasing amount of irrational thinking? Or do you just want to find out the answer to some of today's most popular pseudomysteries (yes, they have all been solved for the most part), i.e., the Bermuda Triangle, Uri Geller, ESP, astrology, UFOs, etc. Here are some excellent recommendations for the straight scoop. The Committee for the Scientific Investigation
of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) consists of scientists, magicians,
educators, and others, who critically evaluate paranormal claims. The Committee
publishes a journal, The Skeptical Inquirer (not to be confused with the
National Enquirer!). They also have affiliated local groups for those people
who wish to be socially acquainted with other like-minded people, or who
just want to find out the answers, because they can't figure it out themselves.
