Skeptics Circle — Solstice Edition

The new edition of Skeptics Circle is up at Relatively Science all the way from New Zealand. Among this terrific collection of great skeptic writing and critical thinking, you're sure to find something that will make you laugh in the delight of discovery or sheer amazement. Don’t miss “How to Be a Crank” and “When absence of evidence can be evidence of absense.”

Have you ever stood an egg on it’s end? Aurora Walking Vacation has and writes: “Jumpin' Jehosephat, Jasper! That there egg is a-standing on its end. It must be that there Vernal Equinox thingy goin' on right now. That's when all the eggs around the world can be stood on end real easy like. Right?” You’ll learn the secret of this trick from his kitchen.

Great job, Robert! Thanks for hosting and for including Junkfood Science in this fun issue.
