Unbelievable Four
Posted by Martin Poulter on 16 November 2009

The stupidity isn’t homeopathic
Posted by Martin Poulter on 6 November 2009
If you can make it all the way through this video, you’re tougher than I am. I can take stupidity, but not in such a toxic concentrated doseage.
Thanks Ruth for the pointer.
Update: Pharyngula reports that Dr Werner is using legal threats to try and have the video taken offline (ha, good luck with that).
