The 98th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle...

...is here at The Uncredible Hallq, and it's a fine collection of the latest skeptical blogging.

Meanwhile the countdown towards #100 continues. Next up is King of Ferrets Ferret Cage, who will be hosting the 99th Edition of the Skeptics' Circle a fortnight hence, on Thursday, November 6, 2008. I should go back and check to see whether King of Ferrets is the youngest host we've ever had (age 15). Now, I know you all want to encourage the next generation of skeptics; so encourage King of Ferrets and be sure to send him your best stuff in time to be included in the next Circle.

Also, if you're interested in hosting one of these Circles yourself (and, if you're a skeptical blogger and have never hosted one, you really should, not to mention that if you've hosted before you should consider hosting again), check out the schedule and archive, as well as the guidelines for hosts and then drop me a line. Assuming you're not a woo masquerading as a skeptic, I'll get you right on the schedule.

Unbelievable. It really is. It's simply amazing that The Skeptics' Circle has been around so long. It's been around so long that we're already up to the 99th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle over at Ferret's Cage. The new generation of skepticism has landed with a great addition to the lore of the…
This has been a bad week at skeptics' school. Apparently, skeptical bloggers have been misbehaving left and right. Apparently we as the skeptical blogosphere have been very, very naughty indeed. Worse, the essays that we've handed in are apparently not pleasing to the teacher. Worst of all, we've…
Well, it's frigid indeed this weekend around Castle Orac. I need something to warm the cockles of the circuits in the deepest, darkest depths of winter, and I know just the thing: A heapin' helpin' of the best skeptical blogging out there. Fortunately, the next meeting of the Skeptics' Circle is…
Yes, it's that time again, time for the latest edition of the Skeptics' Circle to land on the blogosphere like a nuclear explosion of reason, rationality, and science designed to demolish the credulity that is so rampant. OK, I'm exaggerating a bit, but we here at the Skeptics' Circle do try to do…

I remember doing my giant robot installment. Had canker sores and an acne flare up from the stress of how it'd be received.

Orac: But... but... I'll be busy this weekend with massive amounts of last minute DnD game preparation to make sure my vast array of puzzles aren't too hard! So can't I get the information early? =D

BD: I don't think I'll have that problem. Yours was just as nerdy as mine will be, and yours seemed to do fine, so I figure mine will go over well too.

"Patience, young ferret king. You will receive the necessary information this weekend..."

Obi-wan knows the ways of circle.
you must wait to feel the force young ferret.

I'm crackin up over here.

Having never traveled to a galaxy far far away, I could not speak to the subject myself.
