Ghostly Spam

Gather ’round fellow skeptics! Yesterday morning I received a submission to The Coming Out Godless Project that I thought was a bit off-topic. A first I thought it could be satire but upon a second glance, it seemed like human spam. It wouldn’t be the first time. Here’s Sandra Brothers’ story:

Get your Kabbalah Vodka chocked full of Christian Infants

Vodka

Mmm, sounds tasty.

Via Friendly Atheist:

It’s probably fake, though. We all know there are no such things as “Christian Infants.”

“Kabbalah Vodka with the Children of Christian Parents” just doesn’t have the same appeal, though…

Exactly. You may also read the explanation.

Abandoned Alternative Medicine Research

Scrolling through my reader, I see this:

Alternative Medicine Research

Found By: Tilani P in Houston

I have many accordion folders with copies of alternative medicine research in them. They cover all kinds of topics. Most of the paper is single side printing, so this would also be good for free paper to print on the back of or to draw on.

Scientific research or scrap paper? YOU decide!

I’m sure there are some valuable cures in those 20 cubic feet of alternative medicine research. I’ll also bet there’s some spectacular quackery.

Folder #18: The procedure involved drilling holes in the patient’s head and destroying tissue in the frontal lobes by injecting alcohol. Worked OK, now trying to cut brain tissue by rotating a retractable wire loop. Think I’ll call it a leucotomy. Bingo! Patient’s all better now.

I mean, that would be crazy, right?
