It's Thursday the 31st of December 2009 and you're listening to Skeptics with a

Kay, the podcast for science reason and critical thinking. Skeptics with a case produced

by the Merseys Skeptics Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseys, around the UK and internationally.

I am your host, Mike Hall, with is nobody it's just me now we've been

producing skeptics with a cave for about six months and we try to keep to a one hour

format sometimes we go over but one hour format. Sometimes we go over but one hour is the aim. We actually

record much more than that often two or three hours of material which is then

editor down. Now a lot of the stuff that we lose in the editor fluffs or stories that don't quite work or aren't as entertaining as we'd have liked them to be.

But some stuff we lose just because of time.

So as it's the last episode of the year

and Marsh and Colin are off enjoying their Christmas break,

I'm going to play you some of the stories that we wish we'd included,

but we couldn't because we

didn't have the time so I hope you enjoy them.

I don't know if either of you heard of Guy Lalliberte.

Is it not Gie the liboute?

I'll call him Gie now.

Gie de Lucignon.

Yeah, he's the founder of that, I think it's famous, that famous circus chain.

I'm not a circus person.

You have never really understood them.

I don't mind the idea of a circus.
