It is Thursday the 26th of February 2015 and you're listening to Skeptics with

a K, the podcast for science, reason and critical thinking. Skeptics with a K is a production of the Merseys Skeptic Society, a non-profit

organisation for the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseys around the UK and

internationally.

I am your host, a split personality called Mike Hall. My other

personality is Marsh. Hello? And Alice is completely independent to the two of us.

That is true. So yeah, the thread on be reasonable has kind of gone a bit crazy.

It's gone more than a bit crazy.

Apparently you and I are both suffering from terminal stage brain cancer. Well, that's the latest one is we both have. both internet comments alone yes yes the chapter never even spoken to you yet it was enough to

to justify making a diagnosis also he left us a little song he wrote us a song which was

interesting called quack quack quack which is good because when you see it I'm

I don't want to go too much into it because it feels mean spirited with him not being

here but he's been very insulting towards he's been horrendous yeah my my reserves of

reason are slightly dry, but what I like about the song is, it's kind of like, oh, I went to a conference that was run by big farmer people and they're all like quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, there's quack that.

And then it ends with something like a ring-a-ring and roses kind of thing about the kids say

quack, the kids say a quack over here.

He says, here a quack, there a quack everywhere a quack, sang the slum children

outside the quack conference venue

and then it's got this little footnotes says footnote by Abu Sultan

here the children dancing are not naked yeah exactly exactly why does he feel any

destroyed I would never have imagined for a second that

it's not your go-to place, is it? It's a very, very weird footnote to now.
