Skeptical News Roundup!

Some quick hits, cross-posted from the Winnipeg Skeptics blog!

Steve Thoms from Skeptic North has posted an excellent summary of the WiFi scare, detailing why you shouldn't worry too much about EMF.

This wonderful Pharyngula post was recently nominated for the 2011 edition of The Open Laboratory. This provides me with an excuse to link to it, which I've been meaning to do for months. Give it a read. Seriously, it's excellent.

Diana Goods of the Humanist Association of Manitoba wrote a nice letter to the editor explaining why Steinbach's newest megachurch isn't anything to get excited about. Hat tip to Jeff Olsson.

Also from Pharyngula comes the tale of this new lunacy from Orson Scott Card. Apparently Card's 2008 rewrite of Hamlet depicts the ghostly king as an evil paedophile who turns everyone gay. I'm not making this up.

And finally, on a lighter note, Felicia Day linked to this on Google+:


Also, these watches are awesomely geeky. That is all.
